Date: Tue,  1 Apr 2025 10:33:36 +0200

Upstream sets this for CI purposes, but it fails my ARM builds. The
limit itself doesn't make too much sense as long as zig builds and the
build host is big enough, so simply allowing unlimited rss should be
fine.

* gnu/packages/patches/zig-0.14-set-max_rss-to-unlimited-for-building-zig.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/zig.scm (zig-0.14)[source]: Add patch.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Register it.
