From the Release Notes: 

A workaround was implemented for the backwards incompatibility in the TeXLive 2016 graphicx package. Empty tick labels in graphs are now avoided. A paletteticks NoTicks option was added. Support for lualatex was improved. Renderers for Bezier patches and curves more efficient than those in the deprecated GLU library were implemented.

Sounds as if freeglut is not needed.

Replying to ken@…:

Sounds as if freeglut is not needed.

But configure reported: 

checking for gluNewNurbsRenderer in -lGLU... yes
checking for glutMainLoop in -lglut... no
configure: *** Could not find libglut: will compile without GLUT support ***

So it looks as if I've totally misunderstood that comment, no obvious change in deps.
