How to play with a RiscV version of Haiku in TinyEMU or QEMU?

So, you’re saying that EVERY version of Mesa3D that has EVER existed for Haiku, has ALWAYS used LLVM?

I find this hard to believe. However, I also just found this… seems to clearly mention swrast, not softpipe or LLVM:

SUMMARY="Multi-platform GL implementation"
DESCRIPTION="Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL \

Now, versions more recent, also in that repository, DO mention LLVM… but not this one.

Which means, at some point in the past, Haiku was NOT using LLVM to build Mesa3D. The performance may have stunk, but it ran. I assume.
