Note that I am not advocating for just having a few shell scripts that invoke clang. The context is someone saying to use `zig build`, and linking a blog post where all they do is compile redis from scratch, including all dependencies from source except for libc. In that context, `zig build` is just a wrapper around clang. Nowhere in their comment or linked blog post is the issue of these real complexities you allude to addressed at all. Now I personally would rather not use a pre 1.0 release of an entirely different programming language to compile my C projects instead of a cross-platform C compiler, but people can do whatever they want.
