I've got it compiling for my ati card (xorg radeon driver). Will let you know
how it goes.

Gentoo mentions[0] that neither nVIDIA's nor ATi's binary drivers work with 
the
new dllloader, perhaps this information is a bit old as we have a reported 
case
of at least nVIDIA's binary driver working.

More information on dllloader can be found in FreeDesktop.Org's bugzilla[1] 
and
one of the developers' pages[2].
