  meson x rustc library ordering issue

Bug description:
  meson 1.3.1-1 is stuck in -proposed with failing autopkgtests on
  arm64.

  This is failing the same way in debian.

  Two tests in the test suite are failing when compiling (apparently for
  the same reason):

  2308s   = note: /usr/bin/ld: libcpp.a.p/lib.cpp.o: undefined reference to symbol '__stack_chk_guard@@GLIBC_2.17'
  2308s           /usr/bin/ld: /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
  2308s           collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  2308s
  2308s   = note: some `extern` functions couldn't be found; some native libraries may need to be installed or havetheir path specified
  2308s   = note: use the `-l` flag to specify native libraries to link
  2308s   = note: use the `cargo:rustc-link-lib` directive to specify the native libraries to link with Cargo (see https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-scripts.html#cargorustc-link-libkindname)

  It looks like this is linked to a newly added or missing `-fstack-
  protector-all` flag.

  Some research on this error lead me to try adding this `-fstack-
  protected` flag when building on arm64.

  See my patch [0] and the package in my ppa [1].

  But autopkgtests are still failing [2] and it looks like my flag is
  ignored. I may have missed something in the meson syntax.
