In order to define libqemuutil symbols that are requested by block modules, QEMU currently uses a combination of the "link_depends" argument of libraries (which is propagated into dependencies, but not available in dependencies) and the "link_args" argument of declare_dependency() (which _is_ available in static_library, but probably not used for historical reasons only).
Unfortunately the link_depends will not be propagated into the "block" dependency if it is defined using declare_dependency(objects: ...); and it is not possible to add it directly to the dependency because the keyword argument simply is not available. The only solution, in order to switch to defining the dependency without using "link_whole" (which has problems of its own, see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/8151#issuecomment-754796420), is unfortunately to add the link_args and link_depends to the executables directly; fortunately there is just four of them. It is possible (and I will look into it) to add "link_depends" to declare_dependency(), but it probably will be a while before QEMU can use it.
