This is trying to tell us that inotify_init1 is in libinotify.so.0
but we have not put -linotify on the command line for the link
step.  On Linux these are a standard part of glibc, but on FreeBSD
they are separate.

I'm thinking that in previous FreeBSD we probably got this linked
indirectly, but something in 14.0 has become stricer, wanting it
listed explicitly.

IOW, a meson.build change is likely needed to  add -linotify on
FreeBSD.


With regards,
Daniel
