So the DEPENDS should be added in gpu-viv-bin-mx6q when using Wayland backend?

Jacob, can you cook a patch for this?

I'm not entirely satisfied with that solution I'll have to admit.. I'm not using Wayland in my builds, and I am still seeing
this floating dependency in the buildhistory package data.

[root@localhost lib]# arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-readelf libwayland-viv.so.0.0.0 -a|grep libffi

0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libffi.so.6]

Does this not mean that the libwayland-viv.so.0.0.0 library is in fact linked directly to libffi ?

I think this is what OE's automatic dependency-scanner is picking up, and why there is this churn in the buildhistory logs.
