## Sharing of libc shims/libc++.a
Zig does not always share `libc++.a` and the glibc shims. We have observed
to be caused for 2 reasons:
- For some commands Go `chdir`s to `/tmp/`. This causes `ZIG_LIB_DIR` to be
absolute, which blows the cache key to find the right `libc++.a` (because Zig
thinks we are using a different lib dir to compile libc++). This is currently
worked around in `toolchain/defs.bzl` by overfitting to Go and returning
early from that particular invocation.
- Sometimes Bazel's sandbox messes up Zig's cache keys. If one runs without the
sandbox (`--spawn_strategy=standalone`), the cache hit rate and thus the
build time are much better.
## Zig cache location
Currently zig cache is in `$HOME`, so `bazel clean --expunge` does not clear
