Yes, but in an interestingly different way.

$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/*GL*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.a       /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1    /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.so.1.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2  /usr/X11R6/lib/libGLw.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGLU.a

The .so is missing.  So the linker links in the .a instead (it doesn't
know anything about this .so.1 idea), and we go phut.

Can do.
