I can create the egl.pc file, no problem. The problem is the
egmd-driver-bin package bundles another 14 libraries, besides libEGL...
We should write a .pc file for each, if we want to be thorough and
conform to pkg-config guide: "Each file is best used to describe a
single library, so each package should have at least as many pkg-config
files as they do installed libraries".

However, I'm not familiar with all those libraries and I cannot
guarantee the .pc files will be correct.

If you only want the egl.pc file, no problem.
