+configure fails with:
+```
+../meson.build:3171:13: ERROR: C shared or static library 'fdt' not found
+
+A full log can be found at /home/too/vc/ext/qemu/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
+
+ERROR: meson setup failed
+```
+
+If I outcomment the following lines in meson.build:
+```
+    #if get_option('wrap_mode') == 'nodownload'
+    #  fdt_opt = 'system'
+    #endif
+```
+Then the above command line works (with --disable-download)"""
+additional = """The case is where one wants to ensure that configure does not try to access
+network while doing its job. And in a system where dtc/libfdt is not available,
+(or is too old, line in Centos/RHEL 7) one has dowloaded the files already in
+subprojects/dtc/.
+
+The meson.build clearly sets (as of 2024-03-05) expectation that dtc/libfdt/
+has to come from 'system' if 'wrap_mode' is set to 'nodownload'.
+
+Without this check it it works nicely -- and if subprojects/dtc/ was not populated,
+the error message is 
+
+```
+Library fdt found: NO
+
+../meson.build:3187:18: ERROR: Automatic wrap-based subproject downloading is disabled
+
+A full log can be found at /home/too/vc/ext/qemu/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
+
+ERROR: meson setup failed
+```
+
+So -- to me -- that looks like it could be a suitable solution to this problem."""
