I tried that, omitting the `--prefix` and `--cross-file` lines.

I tried that, too, and for me everything works as expected.

I don't get this.  For me, the generated file `builddir/ftoption.h`
has HarfBuzz properly commented out.

Is it possible that another `ftoption.h` file is present in your
include path that takes precedence for whatever reason (e.g.,
cross-compiling)?  Admittedly, I have never tried cross compilation
with meson, so there might be bugs lurking around...
