It's working flawlessly :)

I've added IMAGE_INSTALL += "gpu-viv-bin-mx6q"
 to my image .. you can also use CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL in your local.conf
to make sure it's built and deployed.

sounds like you got the wront libEGL.so .. you're sure you don't have X11 in 
your DISTRO_FEATURES?
objdump -x libEGL.so.1  should give you some idea which version it is.

yes! Different versions are packaged depening on the DISTRO_FEATURES variable.

libEGL-fb.so or libEGL-wl.so will do.
libEGL-x11 won't.

If you have no X11 in DISTRO_FEATURES then the gpu-viv-bin-mx6q will take the 
right versions!

No, to all of them.
I've running the same binaries on wandboard-solo
