In one of the links I provided, the issue the programmer had was pretty much
the same as what we are seeing.  Someone put a comment there that ultimately
the issue is that -lGL and -lOSMesa are sharing some similar function names so
exactly which gets called is anyone's guess.  (That's why I'm wondering if
somehow the Mesa GL library can resolve this while the nVidia library can't.) 
They further commented that GLEW might help because GLEW is a utility to
organize OpenGL routines, particularly for OpenGL extensions.  Some of these
extensions have "FunctionEXT", some don't, depends on their age, acceptance in
OpenGL versions, etc.  I think GLEW is supposed to make life a little easier
to manage the OpenGL name-space.
