Sorry about the formatting in that ticket.

The patch shows what is wrong:

 const GLchar *const* errors 

should be:

 const GLchar ** errors 

[Nigel Stewart]

These did indeed change in GLEW 1.11.0 to reflect the upstream changes from opengl.org. GLEW aims to match glext.h (and others)

See: https://www.opengl.org/registry/api/GL/glext.h

$ grep glMultiDrawElements\  glext.h 
GLAPI void APIENTRY glMultiDrawElements (GLenum mode, const GLsizei *count, GLenum type, const void *const*indices, GLsizei drawcount)

$ grep glShaderSource\   glext.h 
GLAPI void APIENTRY glShaderSource (GLuint shader, GLsizei count, const GLchar *const*string, const GLint *length);

No my initial inclination is to close this issue as "not a bug", or perhaps "will not fix".
