Hi again guys,

after more investigations:

I found out that the default value -lEGL comes from 
./mkspecs/common/linux.conf which is included in 
./mkspecs/linux-oe-g++/qmake.conf

linux-oe-g++ being the only generic mkspecs that should be used in Yocto

So! At the time the configuration enters egl.pro the content of the 
variables LIBS and QMAKE_EGL_LIBS are still a bit weird for me :

1- LIBS already has the content of the QMAKE_EGL_LIBS content from the 
result of the pkg-config command.
2- QMAKE_EGL_LIBS has the content of the default value found in 
./mkspecs/common/linux.conf

There are two options to have it properly working:
- First and easy option : remove the QMAKE_EGL_LIBS default variable in 
./mkspecs/linux-oe-g++/qmake.conf since the good libs seems to already 
been present in the LIBS variable.
- Second option : understand why the LIBS variable is already properly 
set and why the QMAKE_EGL_LIBS properly computed in the configure and 
present .qmake.vars is not used. (I would say that the device spec 
overrides the one from qmake spec... I did not dig further yet.)

Anyway I'm pretty sure the trouble comes from meta-qt5 side now. I'm 
pretty sure meta-raspberrypi maintainers can confirm that their master 
branch handles pkg-config stuff now.

Thanks advance for having a look on this guys,
Best Regards
