According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, "The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated". So it should not be used by installed packages.
Ld's man page says the following:
-u symbol
--undefined=symbol
Force symbol to be entered in the output file as an undefined symbol. Doing
this may, for example, trigger linking of additional modules from standard
libraries. -u may be repeated with different option arguments to enter
additional undefined symbols. This option is equivalent to the "EXTERN"
linker script command.
If this option is being used to force additional modules to be pulled into
the link, and if it is an error for the symbol to remain undefined, then the
option --require-defined should be used instead.
This would imply that it always requires an argument, which this does not
pass. Thus it will grab the next argument on the command line as its
argument. Before it took one of the many -lrt args (presumably) and now it
grabs something other random linker argument and things break.
[zj: this line was added in the first version of the meson configuration back
in 5c23128dab. AFAICT, this was a mistake. No
such flag appeared in Makefile.am at the time.]

/tmp might not be mounted at all yet (given that we support
SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_TMPFS_TMP=0 to turn this off), and /tmp is a dir systemd
usually tries to unmount during shutdown (unlike /run), and we shouldn't
keep it busy. Hence let's just move these deleted files to /run so that
we don't keep /tmp needlessly busy.
The journal files might not be tiny hence let's write them to /var/tmp/
instead of /tmp. Also, let's turn on NOCOW on the files, as these tests
might apparently be slow on btrfs.
Fixes: #12210
