    Like I said - you can build a distribution of LLVM with your favorite targets, including sysroots and have it cross compile with ease (or you can download toolchains that others built). What zig does is not special and it is highly misleading (and needlessly contrarian) to claim that clang/LLVM is not capable of doing the same when the very thing enabling zig to do this is LLVM.
