Whwn I say "insists", it implies there is no conditional.  And
doing "make configure" results in this sequence at the top of the
egl_generated.h file:

#pragma once
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stddef.h>

#include "epoxy/common.h"
#include "epoxy/gl.h"
#include "EGL/eglplatform.h"

So ... no conditional, hence "insists".

Yep, I know, but I've considered this particular problem to be
larger than what is "easily fixable".

Right.  Is there perhaps a dependency on DRM?
