Re: [PATCH] meson: Work around too strict lld

With its version 16.0, the LLVM's linker turned on --no-undefined-version by default [1]. This breaks how we detect --version-script= detection, because at the compile time there's no library built yet that we can use to make --version-script= happy. To cancel their choice of defaults, pass --undefined-version. Unfortunately, this flag is LLVM's invention and is not supported by GNU's ld. This all could be avoided if meson provided proper detection of supported linker arguments, but we are far away from that [2]. 1: https://reviews.llvm.org/D135402 2: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3047 Resolves: https://bugs.gentoo.org/902211 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; --- Compile Libvirt?
