Yes, this is a very nice side effect of your digging into this apparently
un-related issue! :-)

In my own layers I had a .bbappend that was copying the chromium-built
egl/gles libraries to the target, but it doesn't look like this is needed
anymore. I posted complete information here (as part of an issue you had
originally opened):

Absolutely! But, you know chromium... I'll need an hour or two... ;-)
(my image has chromium, glmark2, mesa-demos, directfb, directfb-examples, Qt,
and a bunch of Qt demos. sadly, the directfb examples always work, it's
everything else that's a coin-toss!! haha)

Now I'm confused: is the patch needed?
