Dependencies aside another question is how will it scale for the whole
LTP. We have thousands of test binaries to build, these would need to be
written as targets somewhere, hopefully in separate files per test
directory and then somehow included in the top level meson
configuration. With make the targets are mostly autogenerated. And what
about 'make check' and other tooling we have?
Writing a prototype for the whole LTP would be a lot of work and it may
not even produce something that is usable.
