Two small setuptools C++ extensions (x11, egl) dlopen their target libraries at runtime, so no native deps are needed at build time beyond libdl. Builds both manylinux and musllinux riscv64 targets across cp312/cp313/cp314/cp314t. Upstream's own release workflow ships wheels with no test step at all, and its pytest suite hard-depends on the x11 backend (default_backend() on Linux), which needs a running X server this headless runner doesn't have. The egl backend is this package's actual headless use case and the manylinux/musllinux riscv64 images ship Mesa's software rasterizer, so it gets a real functional test (creates a context, reads GL_VENDOR via glGetString); the x11 backend is checked for a clean failure instead of a crash, proving its compiled extension loads and resolves symbols correctly.

Testing
GL_VENDOR.License: OK
Built on cp312 manylinux_riscv64 locally: egl context created (GL_VENDOR = Mesa/llvmpipe), x11 failed cleanly as expected.
