note that openbsd ought to have same cases :
- no mempcpy support.
- crypt having same header https://man.openbsd.org/crypt.3
- even less libdl support.

Turns out there are some issues with meson detection and confusion with builtins, which for some compilers are always provided, even when not present on a platform. The workaround appears to be to use prefix with an include:
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3672
conf_data.set('HAVE_MEMPCPY', compiler.has_function('mempcpy', args: defs, prefix: '#include <string.h>')

If that is not enough, then this might be:
conf_data.set('HAVE_MEMPCPY', compiler.has_function('mempcpy', args: defs, prefix: '#include <string.h>') and compiler.has_header_symbol('string.h', 'mempcpy', args: defs))

As for libdl, some systems such as NetBSD and OpenBSD have dlopen in libc, not libdl so the meson build fix is to avoid making presence of libdl a requirement.
