 In the last two weeks I started to upgrade my ports from `Python 3.9 to
 Python 3.10`:

 {{{

 }}}

 Today I tried to fix `meson`s `wrong handling of nm arguments` or
 `handling of wrong nm arguments` (the use of `llvm-nm` would be an
 alternative):

 }}}

 Since I recorded some time ago that `meson` has a problem with `nm` when
 `building libepoxy` I first tried to build this port again to see whether
 the fault persists with `Python 3.10`. But the build stops during
 configuration phase:

 {{{

 /meson-logs/meson-log.txt
 }}}

 This log file has at the end:

 {{{
 Run-time dependency appleframeworks found: NO (tried framework)

 test/meson.build:164:2: ERROR: Dependency "appleframeworks" not found,
 tried framework
 }}}

 The test in `test\meson.build` is:

 {{{

   164     opengl_dep = dependency('appleframeworks', modules: ['OpenGL',

   165
   166     cgl_tests = [
   167       [ 'cgl_core', [ 'cgl_core.c' ] ],
   168       [ 'cgl_epoxy_api', [ 'cgl_epoxy_api.c' ] ],
   169     ]
   170
   171     foreach t: cgl_tests
   172       test_name = t[0]
   173       test_sources = t[1]
   174
   175       test(test_name,
   176         executable(
   177           test_name, test_sources,
   178           c_args: test_cflags,
   179           include_directories: libepoxy_inc,
   180           dependencies: [ libepoxy_dep, opengl_dep ],
   181         ),
   182       )
   183     endforeach
   184   endif
 }}}

 Is the cause of failure due to building `libepoxy without Python support`?
