I did not say there is an issue in keeping this flag in the example makefiles.

examples makefile should be self sufficient (like an external
application makefile would be) and are called directly in our building
test scripts: see devtools/test-meson-builds.sh.
So I don't see how it would work if you remove this flag from all
examples makefiles and rely on some global thing.
