+This test checks that a pre-existing object file can be used in projects.
+In order to do this, we need prebuilt objects in the source dir. To enable
+a new platform, the source file source.c needs to be compiled and then
+the Meson file updated to use it.
+
+The object needs to be built with no optimization and debug symbols enabled.
+As an example, this is what a compile command with Gcc on x86 Linux would
+look like:
+
+gcc -c -g -o linux-i386.o source.c
