This (just before tail'ing meson-log.txt) is the actual error message here.
It's a common bug at the moment for applications that build with Meson:
i18n.merge_file previously accepted and ignored an unnamed (positional)
argument, but recent Meson versions made this an error. Unfortunately, the
useless positional argument has been cargo-culted into a lot of projects.

This is irrelevant to the FTFBS: it's Meson probing for whether the compiler
supports this option. This package correctly does not use the option if the
compiler doesn't support it.
