BTW, although the patch suffices to solve the immediate problem, I 
suspect that there may still be a lot of symbols in the various mesa 
DLLs that are exported in the autotools build but not in the meson 
build.  Indeed, there are quite a few 'noinst' libraries in Makefile.am 
files that are not listed in 'link_full' in the meson.build files.  If 
I'm not mistaken, such libraries will be linked with the --whole-archive 
option in the autotools build but not in the meson build.
