Red herring: I was looking at glib's meson_options.txt which contains

option('charsetalias_dir',
       type : 'string',
       value : '',
       description : 'directory for charset.alias dir (default to \'libdir\' if unset)')

and my build machine does have a /usr/pkg/lib/charset.alias.

However, since then, I got the successful build with NetBSD 9, and that VM
doesn't have a charset.alias file, so it isn't necessary.


Cheers,
