building MesaLib: ERROR: libxcb>=1.1.93 is not installed; can't buildlink files

[Georg Schwarz <georg.schwarz%freenet.de@localhost>]

Trying to build MesaLib on a fresh Debian Linux installation I get:

===> Creating toolchain wrappers for MesaLib-7.4.4nb3
ERROR: libxcb>=1.1.93 is not installed; can't buildlink files.

The build dependencies look like this:

=> Build dependency libtool-base>=2.2.6bnb3: found libtool-base-2.2.6bnb4
=> Build dependency bzip2>=0.9.0b: found bzip2-1.0.6
=> Build dependency gmake>=3.81: found gmake-3.82nb1
=> Build dependency pkg-config>=0.19: found pkg-config-0.25nb1
=> Build dependency x11-links>=0.63: found x11-links-0.63
=> Build dependency xcb-proto>=1.4: found xcb-proto-1.6
=> Build dependency xextproto>=7.0: found xextproto-7.1.2

Manually installing x11/libxcb does not help.
In TODO there's a remark saying

 - The xcb (X C Bindings, not X Cut Buffer, heh) support is currently 
   disabled.


Can anyone make sense out of this?
