Zig's 0.11.0 linking code has a bug where it would refuse to link to a symbol that links to `pthread_create@@GLIBC_2_34`, since `pthread_create@GLIBC_2.2.5` exists. All that weirdness can be worked around by using a distro that has glibc 2.31. For someone who is porting this to a modern distro: getting glibc-linked 0.11.0 may be tough. You may have better luck with 0.12.0. If you really need 0.11.0, link stage3 to musl, that will just work.
Building modern Zig from the original C++ implementation
This repository explores building Zig from the C++ implementation without using binary blobs. Forum post goes with this.
Clone zig and prune binary files from history:
$ git clone https://github.com/ziglang/zig zig2
$ cd zig2
$ git config user.name "$(git config --get user.name)"
$ git config user.email "$(git config --get user.email)"
$ git filter-repo --prune-empty=never --prune-degenerate never --invert-paths --path-glob 'stage1/zig1.wasm*' --path stage1/zig1.c
Now build an isolated container with a bunch of zig historic dependencies:
$ docker build -t zig-repro .
$ docker run -ti --rm --name zig-repro \
-v ~/code:/x \
-v /home/$USER/.cache/zig:/home/$USER/.cache/zig \
-w /x/zig2 \
zig-repro \
sh -c "useradd -s /bin/bash -u $UID $USER && su $USER; bash"
And run the thing in the container:
$ ../zig-repro/run
