I've just learned from Simon McVittie in #debian-devel that there is a way to
cross-build packages using meson and gobject-introspection without this patch
by configuring them with --cross-file. Here is an example from libportal:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libportal/-/commit/4efec56ef735eac25836acca867fe59812c3dc6d

I successfully used the same technique for gst-plugins-bad1.0 and
gst-plugins-good1.0. I'm recording this here so this technique doesn't get lost
and in case others want to have their packages cross-built before this or a
similar patch can get accepted.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
