(Get the code!)
OK, I've now spent far too many hours and days setting up legacy hardware to make progress on this bug. And no good news yet...
Pentium 4:
No results as I could only get one which lacked integrated graphics.
Pentium 3 (i810):
Mir fails much earlier as the i810 is only DRI1 and doesn't support DRI2 which appears to be a prerequisite for GBM support. And even if that wasn't a problem, then I'd still be without hardware acceleration as the i810 driver was dropped in Mesa 8.0:

So the best hope for the Pentium 3 is software rendering support later. But even then it is likely too slow for LLVMpipe to be useful. Certainly the machine can't cope with Unity7 or Gnome3.
But hope is not lost for your i865. In theory that should still be supportable by Mir, if only we fix up our initialization to deal with systems that are limited to 16-bit colour.
