Description
I used the following command:
```shell
cargo chef cook --zigbuild --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.2.27 --release -p ...
```
`cargo-chef` successfully built all packages, but then died at the cleanup phase:
```
Error: Failed to cook recipe.
Caused by:
0: Failed to clean up dummy compilation artifacts.
1: IO error for operation on /home/agni/projects/my-project/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.2.27/release: No such file or directory (os error 2)
2: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
This is because `cargo-zigbuild` strips the Glibc version used from the resulting target directory, so `target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` exists but not `target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.2.27`. `cargo-chef` could account for this by stripping the Glibc version like `cargo-zigbuild` does when passed `--zigbuild`:

Research direction
Start by tracing cargo-chef's cleanup phase for `cook --zigbuild --target`, then compare its target-directory handling with cargo-zigbuild's `src/zig/cargo_env.rs` at lines 74-77. Verify the cleanup uses the directory actually produced for a target containing a Glibc version, and run the relevant test suite or reproduction command to confirm the failure is resolved.
