I haven't tried meson 0.55 yet, but my impression was that 0.55 should work
just as before for "usual" (as per libcamera's README) libcamera build. And
starting from 0.55 the patch in openembedded-core to disable RPATH/RUNPATH removal
*might* be dropped - if all the packages would be able to set RUNPATH to
what they need, and meson would detect that OK in all those cases.

Thanks,
Andrey
