Revert "meson: 0.46.1 -> 0.47.0"
With meson 0.47.0 (or 0.47.1, or git) things are very wrong re:rpath handling resulting in at best missing libs but even corrupt binaries :(. When we run patchelf it masks the problem by removing obviously busted paths. Which is probably why this wasn't noticed immediately. Unfortunately the binary already has a long series of paths scribbled in a space intended for a much smaller string; in my testing it was something like lengths were 67 with 300+ written to it. I think we've reported the relevant issues upstream, but unfortunately it appears our patches are what introduces the overwrite/corruption (by no longer being correct in what they assume) This doesn't look so bad to fix but it's not something I can spend more time on at the moment. -- Interestingly the overwritten string data (because it is scribbled past the bounds) remains in the binary and is why we're suddenly seeing unexpected references in various builds -- notably this is is the reason we're seeing the "extra-utils" breakage that entirely crippled NixOS on master (and probably on staging before?). Fixes #43650. This reverts commit 305ac4da . (cherry picked from commit 273d68eff8f7b6cd4ebed3718e5078a0f43cb55d) Signed-off-by: Domen Kožar <domen@dev.si>
