Thanks for spotting that, I've fixed it in commit de21170 ("chromium:
Install SwiftShader only when building for Intel architectures"). I've
now checked the M62 build on pyro with GCC 5.4.0 and
MACHINE="raspberrypi3".

As for the EGL question: as far as I know, the SwiftShader stuff [1] is
a CPU-based OpenGL implementation that's used when hardware acceleration
is not available.
