It's definitely on the requirements list, but as listed in the cover

We can rewrite this mechanic in meson directly, similar to what we do
for gdb in this series. find_program from a list of known names, else
fallback to our cross containers which have a known and fixed setup.
The "build_container_and_run_compiler" logic will be in an external
script, appearing as a cross compiler itself, so meson role will be
limited to find a given program and test some flags.
