Then I don't understand why you link GTK dynamically though.
The libGL ABI is very stable, but the implementations are platform
specific; this binary won't be capable of using direct rendering with
nVidia cards, e.g., and even with the cards supported by free DRI
drivers, direct rendering will only work if the user has those drivers
installed, in which case he is very likely to have libGL as well.
