I think breaking cross compilation with glslang is pretty bad. Apparently 
VLC doesn't enable glslang in their ffmpeg builds though, but I would 
expect that some does.

Wouldn't it just be possible to test whether linkins succeeds with one set 
of libraries, and if not, try with the other set, and pick whichever set 
works with the library at hand? That would be way much simpler than this 
patch, and also work for cross compilation.
