hey geeks i was wondering about a topic while i was packaging the binary for the zig compiler. In the stage1, it seems to need a binary to bootstrap off of. this is 'stage1/zig1.wasm'. from here we can stage2 with gcc and then build the compiler with zig.
has this sort of issue been tackled in the past with other compilers? What was the proposed solution? I don't really see a way around this, and (to the best of my knowledge) even guix has a binary in the bootstrap.
