Problems with the newest wayland git

This is not working very well for me. Most things point to EGL not
working, but there are some strange problems.
I am running the x11-compositor. This opens and displays the blue window
with the red titlebar and icons on the top. I think it tries to run
weston-terminal and that fails.
Almost all weston tools exit immediately with "libwayland: disconnect
from client 0x8815ff0". Exceptions are:
simple-egl also says "simple-egl.c:135: init_egl: Assertion `ret == 1'
failed." indicating eglInitialize() failed.
simple-shm works, and I can launch any number of them (not tested beyond 5).
flower works, but only if it is the only program running. Running it
again or when simple-shm is running exits with the disconnect error.
smoke also works only if it is the only program running. But attempting
to run another program *crashes* the smoke program. In the case of
flower or smoke, it also prevents the new program from running. In the
case of simple-shm, simple-shm does run as smoke crashes.
I have done a lot of clean and rebuild of drm, mesa, wayland, and weston
and messing with configuration, but have not gotten it to act any
different than this.
This is rather frustrating as I had wayland working pretty good before.
