+Subject: [PATCH] test/meson.build: better detect if libc has argp
+
+On some cases, the build system is not properly detecting if
+argp is there or not, because on non-Linux systems, they may
+require the location of the libraries containing it.
+
+As we have our own simplified version of argp here, and currently
+we use it only on tests, if the library is not there, simply fall
+back to non_argp.c.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/mchehab/zbar/commit/77ad19ae9bc3d0fa0f2208be99e562fb96a6e392]
