10 days ago the Zig project announced they deleted their bootstrap C++
compiler
Well we knew this day was coming. The most important question is can the
last commit of the C++ code build a version of zig capable of building
the current zig source code? If so, we can use a guix build chain to
keep that bootstrap path alive until someone picks up the task.

If not, then we have a serious problem.
