Architecture dependent ELF File generated while building debian package

[SpaciousCoder78]

Hi,

The debian package is almost done with a small few errors remaining.

I applied the schema file patch on the debian version to fix the validations and that worked fine but now there seems to be some architecture dependent C files that get generated after building and Debian's lintian says there's an existence of architecture dependent ELF file.

The package targets amd64 and arm64.

Upon discussing with some debian developers, the following suggestions were given:

Install the library to /usr/lib

patch the meson build file, something is wrong with it

I'm thinking the origin of this error this time is the Meson build file, please have a look at it.

@AlexanderVanhee can you please look into this so that I can wrap up the Debian packaging for Gradia?
