You do

AM_CXXFLAGS = @gllibs_CFLAGS@ -Wall -v
AM_LDFLAGS = @gllibs_LIBS@ -lm

and

PKG_CHECK_MODULES([gllibs], [gl glew glfw3 >= 3.0])
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([soil2], [soil2])

i.e. you use the result of the gllibs check but not the result of the
soil2 check. It should rather be

AM_CXXFLAGS = @gllibs_CFLAGS@ @soil2_CFLAGS@ -Wall -v
AM_LDFLAGS = @gllibs_LIBS@ @soil2_CFLAGS@ -lm
