-Currently, platform is not defined in `@zig_sdk`. As you may see in the
-examples, we are currently using the one provided by cgo. E.g.
-`@io_bazel_rules_go//go/toolchain:linux_amd64_cgo`. This is because we want to
-define it in `@zig_sdk//:platform:<platform>`. This is waiting for mine or a
-contributor's attention. You may work around this by sending a patch to
-bazel-zig-cc or specifying the platform in your project:
-
-```
-platform(
-    name = "linux_aarch64",
-    constraint_values = [
-        "@bazel_tools//platforms:linux",
-        "@bazel_tools//platforms:aarch64",
-    ]
-)
-```
-
-and `--platforms="//:linux_aarch64"`.
+Likewise, platforms are `@zig_sdk//:<platform>_platform`, and should be moved
+to `@zig_sdk//:platform:<platform>`.
