Hmmm, really?

When I look at upstream mesa's code, I see this:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/gallium/targets/dri-swrast/Makefile

This sure looks like it builds swrastg using the softpipe, not the llvmpipe.
I also don't see any Fedora patch which would be changing this.

Now I'm not going to claim that I know my way around the Mesa codebase, so
what am I missing?
