I'm using an AM335x-evmsk and I get the same errors about EGL.
I just checked the patches on the master branch of meta-arago; turns out
it's not for 5.2.0!
In fact, you can find the same patches inside the "qt5_1_1_Sep13" folder
here: https://github.com/prabindh/qt-configs
I tried to see if I could adapt them but the source changed too much between
5.1 and 5.2.
