The 'date' library dependency was incompletly imported with meson.
Only the target 'date::date' seemed to be caught by meson, but
'date::date-tz' not, which lead to build errors in gentoos sandbox
environment.
See this question, too:

Adding the modules in meson imports them all and the library builds
nice.
Note, that this did not happen with a standard checkout and local build
on my system, but only when creating an ebuild for the package.
$ meson --prefix=/tmp/foo _build
$ ninja install -C _build

From LLVM libc++ documentation:
"Prior to LLVM 9.0, libc++ provides the implementation of the
filesystem library in a separate static library."
Now the filesystem library (not the experimental one) is shipped
inside the libc++.so library.
Check if '-lc++fs' link flag is needed and supported before adding
it.
gtk-layer-shell wants Gdk::Monitor instead of wl_output;
change code to deal with Gdk objects and slightly simplify it.
Requires gtkmm 3.22.0+ (first release with Gdk::Monitor support).
add a systemd --user unit/service file, so that one can run waybar as a
--user systemd service. when the service is enabled, Waybar will start
when the wayland-session.target is started.
this feature is automatically enabled if systemd is found, but can be disabled
with -Dsystemd=disabled
