[Mesa-users] Big Sur and MESA

[Francis Timmes]

thanks. this is an mesasdk issue.

fwiw, i installed big sur on a non-critical laptop
but have not yet attempted to build mesa as i get 
other items straightened out. once a suitable mesasdk is
available, i can test it as well.

p.s. - always include mesa-users on all replies.
