[natty] mutter/armel FTBFS

[Jamie Strandboge]

Binary package hint: mutter

Reducing to 'High' since mutter is uninstallable on armel anyway, so people can't use the old binaries in the archive. This needs to be fixed or mutter on armel removed so we can get rid of the gtk3 NBS binaries.

There's a fix for the cause of the FTBFS
http://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/

However when I test it fails later at link

Mutter is using a GL symbol (glGetBooleanv) and not explicit linking into it. This symbols is available at libGL and libGLESv2, but clutter doesn't bring it automatically (as it's an abstraction layer). Once you link it directly by hand, the build moves on.

So we could change to request linking with libGL or libGLESv2, depending on the arch or on what's available. Previously at Maverick this function wasn't used, and that's why the build went fine for GL and GLES.
