## Message

```
zig build: add --libc general option

This new option sets a default libc paths file to be used for all
LibExeObjSteps. Setting LibExeObjStep.libc_file overrides this default.

This is required to allow users to cross compile projects linking system
libraries without needing to patch the build.zig.

```
