"In order to provide libc on these targets, Zig ships with a subset of the source files for these projects:

musl v1.2.0

mingw-w64 v7.0.0

glibc 2.31"

These are super-important... (Otherwise, someone will be very limited in what they can compile -- the simplest of programs only...).

It's great that you included these, and as source, not as precompiled binaries!

(Also, a well-selected subset is probably the right balance of functionality vs. complexity...)

Anyway, very excited about the future of Zig as a drop-in Clang/gcc replacement!
