launcher miscompilation workaround

Sometimes the launcher fails to compile with the following error
messsage:

```
error: FileNotFound
```

We cannot reproduce this in a controlled environment, but see it
happening in the wild often enough to receive repeated questions.

Since this has been escalated to Zig Software Foundation, the most
meaningful thing we can ask our users to do is apply a workaround and
wait. Let's do just that.
