Previously if a user tried to pass a command line build
option that contained a '%' character the command line
parser assumed that there was string interpolation to be
done. As there is no sense in such a scenario no code
provides any input for the interpolation. This then leads to
a failure.
In this commit we specifically override the defaults in
ConfigParser and set interpolation to None, which disables
command line build option interpolation.
Fixes#6157
When a static library link_whole to a bunch of other static libraries,
we have to extract all their objects recursively. But that could
introduce duplicated objects. ar is dumb enough to allow this without
error, but once the resulting static library is linked into an
executable or shared library, the linker will complain about duplicated
symbols.
A build with a cross file should always be identified as a cross build, even if
the host and build machine are identical. This was the case in 0.50, regressed
in 0.51, and is fixed again in 0.52, so add a test case to ensure it doesn't
regress again.
Static libraries don't have PDB files. A PDB that would previously end
up installed alongside a static library belonged in fact to the dynamic
version of the same library built at the same time.
This was because the former minstall.Installer implementation, when
installing a file target, also blindly copied any *.pdb file it found
whose filename was matching the target. So, for example installing
foo.dll and foo.a would also install two copies of foo.pdb into both
bin/ and lib/, which doesn't seem like the right thing to do - foo.pdb
should only get installed with foo.dll.
In qemu, minikconf generates a depfile that meson could use to
automatically reconfigure on dependency change.
Note: someone clever can perhaps find a way to express this with a
ninja rule & depfile=. I didn't manage, so I wrote a simple depfile
parser.
The main library must come before extra libraries, because they are
likely to be dependencies of the main library that get promoted from
private to public. This was causing static link issues with glib-2.0.pc.
Solaris doesn't ship static libraries, so the test can't rely on libz.a
existing on Solaris.

* Do not strip static archives
Stripping static archives without more fine-grained options (e.g. `-g`)
leads to failures such as
ld: libfoo.a: error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
because GNU strip removes *every* symbol in a static archive by default.
Given that static archives are not final build artifacts (unlike
executables and shared libraries), stripping them gains little and only
causes more edge case failures.
* Gentoo's portage only strips debug information:
86f211e3a5/bin/estrip (L322)
* Fedora also only strips debug information:
e9c13c6565/scripts/brp-strip-static-archive (L18)
* Debian also only does some very light stripping:
