These headers are supposed to come from mesa-libGL-devel. IIRC even 
Nvidia suggest to use the system supplied headers. (That's why they 
don't install their copy.)

The runtime linker will decide whether to look in /usr/lib64/nvidia or 
/usr/lib64/nvidia/tls given that only /usr/lib64/nvidia is in his search 
path.
