Duplicate symbol errors when building with Meson 0.52.0

It seems that gnome-builder uses link_whole too much. Meson 0.52.0 changes the behavior of link_whole and now gnome-builder fails to link because of duplicate symbol errors. Please see https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/5936 for details of the change.
