This is the 'old' one in gstreamer and buildroot and should be kept (NOT moved from bad to base)....

This is the 'new' one in gstreamer, yet without handling in buildroot, enables
wayland support in libgstgl (which is used by some plugins, but I believe not
by the waylandsink plugin from bad)...

Yes, your short analysis is right (and sorry, I can add no more details what
is enabled/disabled in the resulting libgstgl library)....

Yes, see [1]...
