I’ve been using Mesa-5.1 on Redhat 9, which works, but it’s slow. Now that I realized that I’m not using the opengl libs, I’m trying to link. I use the command:
You link to gl, glut and glu but you don’t link to X11 (you merely add the dir to your link path), try adding -lX11 . I’m surprised you missed so few symbols. Have a look at the link line that the GLUT examples & other makefiles spit out. AFAIK Mesa can emulate GLX in software so that’s probably why you got away with it.
The linux forum is a better place to ask this stuff since they’ll be a lot more familiar. Your next question might be (depending on your hardware & setup) how to get hardware acceleration through the DRI running correctly because you’re still in software despite using the standard ABI :-). So that’s where you should ask it if you need to.

There is a bug in the GLUT library shipped with RedHat 9, look in the linux forum for the work around.
