  Yes, and your patch looks in pretty good shape already.  I would make
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LIBXML2_PYTHON a blind option (i.e. remove the string after
bool).  I'd also remove the dependency on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBXML2 (in fact,
mesa3d doesn't require libxml2).  And I'd keep the --without-debug.  But
otherwise the patch looks good :-)

  Care to post it to the list, followed by a mesa3d patch that uses it?

  Regards,
  Arnout
