hey Matthias,
after reading the bug, it's implied the binaries being asked for removal
were somehow built with gl (possibly sw implementation of gl?)....please
cmiiaw

as to the request, never say never, but at least i've never seen an arm
chipset in the wild with a gl enabled gpu (like the bug indicates they're
all gles).
so i'm not sure of the value of having those binaries present where at
least in real application, there's no gl ?

br,kg
