Comment (by kencu):

 It has to do with warnings coming out of the linker, which causes the
 linker test to fail. How to turn off these warnings is not so easy for me
 to see (meson has a `fatal_warnings` setting for linkers, perhaps we can
 figure out how to toggle that.

 Alternatively, do something like this to force the flags:
