Basically anything that mentions 'virtual/libgl' - you can grep the 
oe-core layer for it.

Before producing any patches, I'd really like you to establish the 
difference between working and failing build in a systematic way - we've 
all been doing 'shotgun debugging based on guessing' up to now to be 
honest. Here's how:

1. Do not make any changes to libepoxy recipe, use it as it is now in 
oe-core.

2. Build libepoxy with a default plain-poky config, it should succeed. 
Copy the working directory of libepoxy somewhere safe for later comparison.

3. Build libepoxy with raspberry config that makes it fail.

4. Carefully compare the working directory of libepoxy with the one that 
you saved. What are the differences? How do the configure and compile 
steps differ (particularly the output of meson at do_configure stage, 
ninja build files, and compiler flags)? How do the sysroots differ, 
particularly in what gets installed to /usr/include? It would be great 
to establish the specific root cause of the failure vs success and work 
out a fix from there.
