I don't have meson installed on my surviving Catalina box, but
I tried the equivalent thing in the Makefile universe:

diff --git a/src/Makefile.shlib b/src/Makefile.shlib
index f94d59d1c5..f2ed222cc7 100644
--- a/src/Makefile.shlib
+++ b/src/Makefile.shlib
@@ -136,7 +136,7 @@ ifeq ($(PORTNAME), darwin)
BUILD.exports = $(AWK) '/^[^\#]/ {printf "_%s\n",$$1}' $< >$@
exports_file = $(SHLIB_EXPORTS:%.txt=%.list)
ifneq (,$(exports_file))
- exported_symbols_list = -exported_symbols_list $(exports_file)
+ exported_symbols_list = -Wl,-exported_symbols_list,$(exports_file)
endif
endif

That builds and produces correctly-symbol-trimmed shlibs, so I'd
say it's fine. (Perhaps we should apply the above to HEAD
alongside the meson.build fix, to get more test coverage?)

No opinion on when to switch CI. Sonoma is surely pretty bleeding edge
yet.
