I'm not sure this will address the issue, but you should avoid doing most
of these things as root.

`export INSTALL_PREFIX="/x86_64-native-linux-gcc"`
`meson setup build`
`meson configure -Dexamples=all \
                 -Dprefix="${INSTALL_PREFIX}"   \
                 -Ddisable_drivers=common/mvep,common/mlx5,net/mvneta,
net/mvpp2,net/nfb,net/mlx4,net/mlx5,crypto/qat,crypto/aesni_gcm,crypto/aesni_mb,crypto/armv8,crypto/ccp,crypto/kasumi,crypto/mvsam,crypto/openssl,crypto/snow3g,crypto/zuc,compress/isal,regex/mlx5,vdpa/mlx5,net/pcap,net/szedata2,raw/ifpga,net/af_xdp,net/ipn3ke,crypto/ipsec_mb,crypto/ipsec_mb,crypto/mlx5,compress/mlx5,gpu/cuda
\
                 build`
`meson compile -C build`
`meson install -C build`

where I do notice that you're setting some conflicting options is that you
have `-Dprefix="/"` when configuring and you also have
`--destdir=../x86_64-native-linux-gcc` when installing. I'm not sure why
you would set these to different paths unless you're essentially on a
root-only system and you are doing everything from the root directory?

In my example above, I set a variable, INSTALL_PREFIX, and use that in the
configure step instead. Then, when you install, just let it install to the
prefix that you specified. Presumably, this will ensure that all paths are
correct whereas setting a different destdir from the prefix could
potentially mismatch some paths.
