As a more general note for future consideration, I notice that in meson
0.56 the cross-file support has been enhanced with the ability to use
constants and therefore separate out prefixes.[1]

When we get to the point where we feel we can mandate meson 0.56 upwards
for cross compilation, we should look to leverage this. It should even
allow other scripts such as test-meson-builds to auto-generate the constant
paths to the binaries on the fly, effectively allowing the use of
environment variables for these - something previously requested by Thomas.
