W.r.t. the syntax fixes, that is probably an upstream issue or perhaps
an incompatibility introduced by zig itself.  (Maybe already from 0.7.1
to 0.8.0?)

It appears zig tries to execute @command{cc}.  Note, that this command
does not exist in Guix unless you install a symlink, so it will always
fail.  We might want to investigate the source of this error to check
whether spawning a C compiler is indeed the right choice for what
they're claiming to try or whether our hard coding already takes care
of that.

Thanks for the info.  I'll let you know once I find out more.
