This fixes a regression in this branch that can be reproduced with the following steps: 1. `zig build-exe hello.zig` 2. delete the "hello" binary 3. `zig build-exe hello.zig` 4. observe that the "hello" binary is missing This happened because it was a cache hit, but nothing got copied to the output directory. This commit sets CacheMode to incremental - even for stage1 - when the CLI requests `disable_lld_caching` (this option should be renamed), resulting in the main Compilation to be repeated (uncached) for stage1, populating the binary into the cwd as expected. For stage2 the result is even better: the incremental compilation system will look for build artifacts to incrementally compile, and start fresh if not found.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
