- Can't this be unbundled?
Zig includes parts of these projects for itself, its standard library and cross compilation support
Here is a breakdown on where what is used:
- compiler-rt is used within the standard library and has been ported to zig https://github.com/ziglang/zig/tree/masterlib/std/special/compiler_rt
- glibc, mingw and musl have their header files bundled for cross compilation and in the case for glibc it also keeps track of ABI changes and functions https://github.com/ziglang/zig/tree/master/lib/libc/
- libcxx is included for C++ cross compilation https://github.com/ziglang/zig/tree/master/lib/libcxx
- libunwind is included for debugging https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/libunwind
- Use ExclusiveArch instead
I had initially followed https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures#ExcludeArch_.26_ExclusiveArch but considering zig has a well defined list of supported systems that is probably for the better
- I would recommend creating a RPM macro file with a zig_arches macro to use in future zig package. Maybe also a zig_build and zig_install if necessary.
Zigs build system is rather ambigious but I went and made one anyways it didn't allow specifying the lib suffix so I went and created a patch that allows specifying absolute paths to the lib dir, bin dir and include dir that are in the process of being upstreamed

- Where are the tests:
Test were removed but in retrospect it would have probably been better to comment them out with a reason why
Right now the non rawhide tests are affected by https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49401 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/8130
and the rawhide builds don't compile because of an unsupported glibc version
- The man pages extension shouldn't be globbed as the compression may

Fair point, changed
