@item fix-runpath
This phase tries to locate the local directories in the package being build,
which has libraries that some of the binaries need. If any are found, they will
be added to the programs @code{RUNPATH}. It is needed because
@code{meson-for-build} keeps the @code{RUNPATH} of binaries and libraries from
when they are build, but often that is not the @code{RUNPATH} we want.
Therefor it is also shrinked to the minimum needed by the program.
This phase ensures that all binaries can find the libraries they need.
It searches for required libraries in subdirectories of the package being
built, and adds those to @code{RUNPATH} where needed. It also removes
references to libraries left over from the build phase by
@code{meson-for-build}, such as test dependencies, that aren't actually
required for the program to run.

This phase is the phase provided by @code{glib-or-gtk-build-system}, and it
