Adding a file with content like the following and passing --libc <this file> to
zig works, RUNPATH is correct and no need to set CC then.

For cross builds interpreter path like /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 is used in
output binary, I'll find a way to fix it.

This seem to be an upstream issue, Zig is reproducible only on the same machine.
I'll verify it and report to upstream.
