I really wish zig were a gcc frontend; the m68k and sh2 targets available in gcc make it desirable for a certain form of hobby programming.

  C target would solve it, I would be happy to use it with sdcc

    Ha, making gameboy games in zig would be neat.

      A few folks are working on gameboy emulators: https://github.com/nrdmn/awesome-zig#emulators https://github.com/nrdmn/awesome-zig#emulators

        That's not really the same as producing binaries that can function on original hardware.

  I'm not sure on the specifics of what you mean, but zig comes bundled with and wraps gcc. `zig cc` command directly forwards to gcc (try `zig cc --version`) and zig's build system can be used to build C programs. Zig currently is able to target quite a bit. There's a good chance you could open an issue and it would get added, or find an existing issue and see where it is on the roadmap.

    I was under the impression it was limited to llvm supported targets; of which m68k is not officially supported.

    Zig ships with clang, not gcc.
