NFSIISE: gles2 renderer - GLSL shader compilation error (aarch64 Linux / Panfrost)

First off, thank you so much for this excellent Linux port of NFS II SE!

I have been attempting to get the GLES renderer working on a couple of devices running JELOS. Both devices are runnning mainline Linux 6.7.5 aarch64 kernels and Mesa 24.1.0 with Panfrost GPU drivers compiled with OpenGL ES 1 and 2 support included and 32-bit libs built. One has a RockChip RK3326 SOC with a Mali G31 GPU, and the other has an Amlogic S922X SOC with a Mali G52 GPU. Both devices support OpenGL ES 3.1 and OpenGL 3.1 according to Panfrost Mesa driver docs.

The OpenGL 1 and 2 renderers work fine and the game runs well. But the GLES render is producing the following error:

It seems to be crashing in /src/Glide2x/OpenGL2.c
