Sure, that makes sense. I have a suggestion though: why don't we try
argv[1] first, then fall back to $WAYLAND_EGL_LIB, and error out if
neither are set? That way we don't hardcode internal autotools
implementation details into our own scripts (remove fallback
definition), allow autotools tests to run easily (environment
variable), and allow people to use it manually for debugging
(command-line argument). For the latter, I think being explicit is
better: it means you can't accidentally forget to set an environment
variable and end up testing the wrong thing.

No more complicated than it needs to be:
egl_sym_check_env = [
'WAYLAND_EGL_LIB=@0@'.format(lib_wayland_egl),
'NM=@0@'.format(nm_prog),
...
]
test('egl-symbols', egl_sym_check, env: egl_sym_check_env)
Cheers,
