Hi Takashi,
I just tripped over a small problem with gobject-introspection:

This fails because the _giscanner module is built for (and linked
against) python3.9.
I don't quite understand why this is happening since we configure with
"-Dpython=${PYTHON3}", so I'd expect end up with the full path to
specific python version in the shebang line in g-ir-scanner.
(I think that's what was happening before upstream switched from
autotools to meson)
In any case, this can be fixed in the cygport by using
python3_fix_shebang on this script.
