For fb only, GLES2, swrast EGL, you may try

  $ ./configure --disable-opengl --enable-gles2 --enable-gallium-egl \
                --with-gallium-drivers=swrast --with-egl-platforms=fbdev

If you also need OSMesa, this may work

  $ ./configure --disable-dri --disable-glx --enable-gles2
                --enable-osmesa --enable-gallium-egl \
                --with-gallium-drivers=swrast --with-egl-platforms=fbdev

I do not really try to build.  Some of the options may only available
on the master branch.
