I strongly suggest you to disable the Meson tests. Meson support 
was occasionally a source of friction [1] when I contributed to 
dlang-community. This is enough now. Those who care about this 
alternative build system will have to come and fix the support.

The problem in the present case is also that libdparse-based 
tools use all a special branch of stdx-alloc (2.77.z) to prevent 
the dep on mir-core but right now the meson stuff for the latest 
tag dont match (git tag 2.77.5, meson tag 2.77.2).
