Thanks for this, however I don't think we will ever merge this until a
system-provided meson can effectively be used.

What about working on merging
0001-Only-fix-RPATH-if-install_rpath-is-not-empty.patch to upstream
Meson, in this form or another form ? This would definitely pave the
way to using the system-provided Meson.

Another (more useful ?) thing to look at: is it possible to use the
system-provided Python for Meson and Ninja, when python3 is provided by
the system ? I think Meson and Ninja by themselves are not long at all
to build, and it would be a much more useful direction for this patch
series.

Thanks!

Thomas
