It can't cover Mac users, because Mac OS has a different ABI with a
completely different object-file format (Mach-O vs ELF). If they do
attach a glxinfo binary, it would probably be for Linux.

X11 on Mac OS comes with a universal glxinfo anyway, so it's really not
necessary for Mac OS. You can forcibly run the 32-bit glxinfo on Mac OS
like so:

arch -i386 glxinfo

If you installed mesa from MacPorts, make sure you built it +universal.
If you installed whatever the equivalent package is from Fink, make sure
it's a universal binary by running:

file /sw/bin/glxinfo

It should say:

/sw/bin/glxinfo: Mach-O universal binary with <n> architectures

or some such.
