 Software rendering with modern Mesa uses
 [http://www.mesa3d.org/llvmpipe.html llvmpipe], and thus depends on
 `libLLVM`.

 Depending on which version of the `libstdc++` the system's `libLLVM` was
 compiled against, the software rendering DRI module (`swrast_dri.so`) can
 fail to load, because Tor Browser includes `libstdc++.so.6` as part of the
 bundle (and in the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`).

 Snipped strace output, with a bunch of env vars set:
 {{{
 Tor/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22' not found (required by
 /usr/lib/libLLVM-3.9.so))
 }}}

 This is non-fatal, but webGL will be broken on those systems.
