I am getting following build error in my environment:
"config/ppc/meson.build:23:6: ERROR: Unknown statement."
The compiler I have is:
powerpc64le-linux-gcc (gcc 10.2.0 "powerpc64le-linux-gcc.br_real (Buildroot
2020.08-14-ge5a2a90) 10.2.0")
meson version: Version: 0.59.1
Multi-line statements seems need to be merged with '\':
