Sorry for the late reply, many of us have been at GUADEC the last week 
and so our inboxes are a bit... full.

If you're building with the flatpak configuration for the application, 
Meson will come from the build SDK. If you need a newer Meson that is 
distributed with the SDK, you can add it to the list of modules before 
your application and then that will be used.

If you are building against your host (or jhbuild) you can update Meson 
in the respective environments and Builder should use them as expected.

That means that we failed to extract the CFLAGS for the file. Generally 
this happens before we've built the application successfully once.

This sounds like a bug. It is easier for us to help if you can file a 
bug on bugzilla¹ so we can work through our normal troubleshooting 
procedures.
