I see.  Out of curiosity, which libraries did you find to be present in
RUNPATH but not in NEEDED?

I’d consider it a Meson bug (or a bug in how the package uses Meson) if
test libraries are passed as -l when linking non-test binaries.

At any rate, we should implement ‘shrink-runpath’ in (guix build
gremlin) someday!

Thank you!

Now to upgrade GNOME?  :-)
