Bug 7789

What happens if you remove line 45 from progs/xdemos/glxgears_fbconfig:
#include <GL/glxext.h>

I'm wondering if you have a glx.h file elsewhere that's defining
GLX_ARB_get_proc_address but not typdef'ing *__GLXextFuncPtr.

That's what happens :

Have you modified any of the Mesa/config/* files?  Looking at the gcc command:

gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -s -O3 -march=i686 [...]

I don't see where the "-s" and -march=i686 options are coming from, or why some
of the options are present twice.

A lot of build issues have been cleared up in the Mesa-7* releases. Can you try a more recent one and see if the issue persists?

Mesa 6.5 is no longer supported.  If you're still experiencing build errors with more recent versions of Mesa, please submit a new bug report.

Thanks.
