So, we've discussed and investigated this with Heiko on IRC tonight, and
we came to the conclusion that the weston build failure is a weston bug.

Indeed, weston *is* using pkg-config to find EGL:
    Run-time dependency egl found: YES 8.0

Weston is indeed using the proper CFLAGS from egl.pc to build parts of
its files; for example, bulding libweston/backend-wayland/wayland.c is
using the proper -DWL_EGL_PLATFORM.

However, the CFLAGS from egl.pc are not used when building gdbm-drm.c,
when it should. Indeed, drm-gbm.c includes gl-renderer.h which includes
egl.h which include eglpltform.h, so it seems totally expected that
drm-gbm.c does use the CFLAGS frpm egl.pc.

In my opinion, this build failre you report in your original patch is in
fact a weston bug.

Probably, patch like this could help:

    From Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>

    libweston/backend/drm: might need EGL

    gbm-drm.c includes gl-renderer.h. When EGL is enabled, that in turns
    includes egl.h. As such, dependencies for drm should include EGL if
    it is available.

    This condition is modelled after a similar one in libweston/meson.build

The build succeeded for me with that patch, at least; I'll let you check
it is valid, and maybe send it upstream
