I had a look at the build log, and libmutter-cogl.so appears to have
been linked with -lEGL as it's supposed to.  Also, the two mentioned
symbols are still present in libEGL.so, so there's no obvious mesa
problem either.

The toolchain has also changed quite a bit in the past four weeks, with
gcc having pie enabled by default and binutils at a bleeding edge
snapshot.  Maybe one of those has triggered the build failure.
