Subject: meson: speed up building standalone binaries
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=944e1d3d8104fbad8a5dbe4e9248d6387afe19a1;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

meson: speed up building standalone binaries

Previously, files listed in 'sources' were built twice:
once when building the main binary, and again when building the
statically linked one.

This change ensures that all object files from the main binary are
reused when building the static binary. Hence, the only step now
necessary for the static binary is linking the object files.

Follow-up for 39d00e1d20717e56285795335fe3172fc24f3577.
