Problems with building using meson and fuzzing

Problems with building using meson and fuzzing

[Jon Maloy]

Alex, Stefan & al
I am trying to build and run Marc-Andrés Lureaus libslirp code with 
fuzzing activated, but I am running into build issues.
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/elmarco/libslirp/-/commit/9fba8af484ec6bc10b22e3f49d9e34d95c28b086
Since I am new to meson I thought it might be quicker to ask somebody 
instead of spending a lot of time on this myself.

1: I cloned the repository.
2: I made a "regular" build as you suggested in the mommit log, using 
gcc, and made a run. No problem.
3: I then try to build using clang and with fuzzing activated, also as 
suggested in the commit log:
[jmaloy@f31 libslirp]$ CFLAGS="-fsanitize=fuzzer" CC=clang CXX=clang++  
meson build-clang -Db_lundef=false
(*** Note that the build directory is missing in the commit log's 
example command)

My environment:
----------------------
[jmaloy@f31 libslirp]$ which clang
/usr/bin/clang
[jmaloy@f31 libslirp]$ clang --version
clang version 9.0.1 (Fedora 9.0.1-2.fc31)
Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin
[jmaloy@f31 libslirp]$ which meson
~/.local/bin/meson
[jmaloy@f31 libslirp]$ meson --version
0.55.3
[jmaloy@f31 libslirp]$

I updated from meson 0.52.0 to 0.55.3, but the result is exactly the same.
I commented out "main()" in fuzz-main.c  just to check, but that is not 
the issue of course.
To me it looks like the sanity checker is trying to link to 
libclang_rt.fuzzer-x86_64.a  twice, and at the same time is incapable of 
finding LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput() which clearly is there.

Does anybody have any ideas about this?
