I was able to build successfully using Meson on PostgreSQL 16. However, when attempting the same on the latest master(with the revived changes), I encountered a few errors. We are currently investigating these issues and working on the necessary fixes.
I’ll keep you updated once the Meson-related fixes are ready.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Splitting the patch into smaller, constituent pieces makes sense and would certainly help with clarity and review.
Appreciate your guidance.

Warm regards,
Sriram.
