I bet that the latter. I remember some years ago pushing new code (I
think that was the initial ARB_gl_spirv code), updating the meson and
autotools files (we were still on transition), and found when the code
was I pushed broke the scons build. Moving from three build systems to
two was good. If possible I really think that it would be a good idea to
move from two to one.
