Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello,

I backported ninja-build and meson to Ubuntu 16.04 (to provide CI build
dependencies for systemd), and noticed that c++-compiler-arm-linux-gnueabihf is
not yet available there. Same goes for Stretch. As it's only being used for
testing, it should be harmless to provide a "| bash-doc" alternative to make it
backportable.

I applied this patch, and meson now builds happily in xenial:
