Hi,
glad you asked! "make precheck" is effectively replaced by native
meson functionality (it always generates a json file in build root
containing the necessary information), but the scripts and
documentation have not been updated yet. If I remember correctly, I
discussed this with JJ and the conclusion was that it was already
broken for some time before meson, so it's not really a regression
that needs to block the merge, but I forgot to file the bug, which is
my bad.

Incidentally, fixing this is top of my todo list for HelenOS. With any
luck, I'll pass my exams in early February, after which I should have
plenty of time to address all the issues.
