In m-c we're running into linking issues in `uniffi_macros`,
where it's missing symbols coming from `uniffi_core`:
/bin/ld: uniffi_foreign_executor_callback_set: undefined version:
/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
That's most likely this issue on Rust:
rust-lang/rust#111888
It's called out that this likely actually broke because of another PR:
rust-lang/rust#99944
Despite this bug there's a bit of an issue in UniFFI to begin with:
We're exporting `extern "C"` functions from a crate that is a dependency
of some other crates, including `uniffi_macros`, and thus the symbols
land in a part where they are not needed.
However for `uniffi_meta` in particular we don't need much from
`uniffi_core`, so for now we just copy the necessary bits to get it all
working.
