There are some differences between Autotools and Meson here:
- Because we detect native atomic operations differently, we can no
longer emulate a platform that doesn't have them, such as ARMv4;
but modern OSs no longer support ARMv4 and all significant hardware
platforms now have native atomic operations, so this is now less of
a concern.
- Similarly, we can no longer emulate a platform that doesn't have the
getrandom() library function, but that function is available in all
relevant glibc versions (such as CentOS >= 8, Debian >= 10,
Ubuntu >= 18.04) so testing the fallback path is less of a concern now.
We also no longer try to disable dnotify in the legacy build, but our
dnotify code path was removed in 2013, so --disable-dnotify didn't do
anything anyway.
