There is an excellent writeup explaining this requirement here:

In short, for mixed environments such as the Steam Runtime and other
container-like environments, choosing which libdrm to link into the
client's address space is a hard problem. If the runtime has a newer
libdrm than the host, then it should be preferred, because the client
may be using newly-added symbols. But if the host has a newer libdrm,
then that should be used, because drivers may be depending on those.
Bumping the DSO minor version is transparent to all users because apps
only link against the major version, e.g. DT_NEEDED libdrm.so.2; the
fact that libdrm.so.2 is a link to libdrm.so.2.122.0 is a detail known
only to the loader, but it does let a smart runtime make better
decisions.

pthread-stubs >= 0.4 simply passes -pthread which is similar to what
dependency('threads') returns. And make it a private dependency
for subprojects even on Linux.

This produces no differences in the generated output. I've had to
manually add `requires : 'libdrm'` to libdrm_intel, otherwise libdrm
ends up in `Requires.private` instead of `Requires`.

This allows meson to check if the compiler supports gnu style symbol
visibility, and apply the appropriate flags as necessary, rather than us
adding them by hand

This allows consumers of libdrm as a subproject to use the simpler
`dependency('libdrm', fallback : 'libdrm')` syntax, as the libdrm build
files already tell meson that they override a dependency called
"libdrm".

This allows users to select the library type (static or shared)
using the Meson -Ddefault_library built-in option.

Now that symbols that should be exported are annotated accordingly, make
all the rest hidden by default.

This patch adds a complete meson build system, including tests and
install. It has the necessary hooks to allow it be used as a subproject
for other meson based builds such as mesa.
