Looking closer, the documented syntax is

-exported_symbols_list filename

(two arguments, not one with an "="). That is what our Makefiles
use, and it still works fine with latest Xcode. However, meson.build
thinks it can get away with one argument containing "=", and evidently
that doesn't work now (or maybe it never did?).

I tried

export_fmt = '-exported_symbols_list @0@'

and

export_fmt = ['-exported_symbols_list', '@0@']

and neither of those did what I wanted, so maybe I will have to
study meson's command language sometime soon. In the meantime,
I suppose this might be an easy fix for somebody who knows their
way around meson.
