Hi Ludo,

that is not a fix.  A workaround maybe.

If possible, I'd like the actual fix to be to make the meson build system
support cross compilation.

According to https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html :

>Meson has full support for cross compilation. 
[...]
>meson builddir/ --cross-file x86-linux

Also, for the record, I find it a bad idea to switch packages from
gnu-build-system to meson-build-system when the package in question
supports building itself with either, as long as meson-build-system
doesn't support cross-compilation.
