Description

Description

Compile by default under arm64 will failed if not OpenVG found.

Expected behavior

Compile by default without OpenVG under arm64

Actual behavior

It's needed --disable-vg flag

[What is actually happening]
vc_egl shouldn't be even attempted to be built on non-raspberry pi systems..

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Compile retroarch core under arm64
  2. Error vc_egl_ctx.c:24:10: fatal error: VG/openvg.h: No such file or directory
    3 - see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/3915

Research direction

Reproduce the default arm64 build on Ubuntu and inspect the build logic around vc_egl_ctx.c and the --disable-vg option. Done means a non-Raspberry Pi arm64 build succeeds without OpenVG installed and no longer attempts to build vc_egl by default.
