This was originally introduced in c2fb8bfee309, reportedly to
support symbol versioning on Solaris; more recently, 30b301c6eaa9
ported it to meson.
Up until the previous commit this has resulted in passing
-M .../libvirt/build/src/libvirt.syms
to the linker on macOS, but the implementation of the -M option
on that platform's linker is literally
else if ( strcmp(arg, "-M") == 0 ) {
// FIX FIX
}
so in practice we've been providing an additional input file,
which the linker understandably ignores after printing a warning
since it's not in any format that it recognizes.
Considering that LLVM's linker, which is now used by default on
FreeBSD, supports the same --version-script option as the GNU
linker, that we have introduced special handling for macOS, and
that we don't target Solaris, we can simply drop the branch at
this point.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
