IMO if asserts cause a slow build in mesa, mesa should disable asserts. Pushing this into the build system means you're changing the behaviour of every package build with meson. I rely on asserts in several packages for paths that must not happen - removing those asserts means instead of crashing we now have undefined behaviour, probably leaking things. NDEBUG is on the same level as _GNU_SOURCE, it significantly changes the behaviour. Please leave it to packages to decide whether it should be set.
