Description

Is this a new report?

Yes

System Info

Void 6.6.78_1 aarch64-musl (Raspberry Pi 5 8GB)

Package(s) Affected

zig-0.13.0_1

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No response

Expected behaviour

The package supports the aarch64* architecture in the the template.

Actual behaviour

It fails to build after finishing to compile and reaching some unreachable code:

=> zig-0.13.0_1: running do_build ...
[ 10%] Built target zig-wasm2c
[ 52%] Built target zig1
[ 68%] Built target zigcpp
[ 94%] Built target zig2
[100%] Building stage3
thread 7811 panic: reached unreachable code
Panicked during a panic. Aborting.

This happens either when using the build style or when building the package directly via ./xbps-src pkg zig.

Steps to reproduce

Build Zig on a Raspberry Pi.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with ./xbps-src pkg zig on the reported aarch64 system and inspect the Zig package build configuration. The log points to the CMake build path in common/build-style/cmake.sh and the stage3 build command. Done means the zig-0.13.0_1 package completes successfully on aarch64.
