You are really mixing two different things together - chroot has nothing to do
with the linker paths and/or rpath.
To add rpath you need to add something like this to meson setup:
-Dc_link_args=-Wl,-rpath=${install_dir}/lib
Adding -Wl,--enable-new-dtags and/or -rdynamic to LDFLAGS (-Dc_link_args=)
might be also needed (or not);
But this really hasn't changed between 9.20 and 9.21, there was no explicit
rpath support in autotools.
