You are right, it is not strictly speaking a GStreamer issue, but other
projects have added workarounds for this libtool issue (see the LTTng link).

Another option is to build with --disable-examples --disable-benchmarks.
That's enough to avoid the issue, and does not require any hack.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of config options missing in GStreamer's meson.
For embedded builds, we usually disable almost all plugins, and only keep the
ones we are really interested in.

Thanks for your feedback
