I found that I'd put this explanation in the slack-desc

 The Wayland display server protocol uses EGL. If you build qt5 with
 its optional dependency wayland and then build vlc then vlc will
 require wayland-egl.

I don't have a Wayland display server so can't test.

Slackware 14.2 provides Mesa-11.2.2. SBo only provides packages *not* in Slackware.
