I see. Strict linking isn't really a requirement for us, just a nice to have. Sounds like we should drop -Wl,-z,defs when the meson switch hapens. We can always add it back if/when the situation improves. > >> - evas loaders/savers modules aren't generated.

Debian packages often ship static libs in the -dev packages, EFL included. If static EFL libs should be deprecated that's probably okay - I don't know that anyone is using the static libs we ship. > >> - shaders aren't regenerated w/EFL_SHD_REGEN.

Just a few small tweaks for us when the switch happens.
