Hi Andrew,

there is sadly no lack of package definitions for Zig, but rather a
lack in review (and somewhat related a confidence to push them).  IIRC,
our currently best approach is the one written by Léo Le Bouter back in
March, but Maxime Devos raised legitimate concerns regarding cross-
compilation that so far (again, to my knowledge) have not been
addressed in any package definition.

When it comes to packaging 0.8.x, there is a patch for lld waiting in
the mailing list as well [1], but it has to jump through some hoops to
compile and is thus somewhat lacking in what I call for lack of a
better word "prettiness".

Greetings
