Before this commit, glibc headers did the following mapping: * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnu => (glibc) mipsel-linux-gnu * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnu-soft => (glibc) (none) * (zig) mips-linux-gnu => (glibc) mips-linux-gnu * (zig) mips-linux-gnu-soft => (glibc) (none) While the glibc ABI stubs used the (zig) gnueabi and gnueabihf ABIs, and the stage2 available_libcs array listed: * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnu * (zig) mips-linux-gnu The problem is the mismatch between the ABI component of the headers and the stubs. This commit makes the following clarifications: * (zig) mips-linux-gnueabi means soft-float * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabi means soft-float * (zig) mips-linux-gnueabihf means hard-float * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabihf means hard-float Consequently, the glibc headers now do this mapping: * (zig) mips-linux-gnueabihf => (glibc) mips-linux-gnu * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabihf => (glibc) mipsel-linux-gnu * (zig) mips-linux-gnueabi => (glibc) mips-linux-gnu-soft * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabi => (glibc) mipsel-linux-gnu-soft The glibc ABI stubs are unchanged, and the stage2 available_libcs array's 2 entries are modified and it gains 2 more: * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabi * (zig) mipsel-linux-gnueabihf * (zig) mips-linux-gnueabi * (zig) mips-linux-gnueabihf Now everything is consistent. Zig no longer recognizes a `mips-linux-gnu` triple; one must use `mips-linux-gnueabi` (soft float) or `mips-linux-gnueabihf` (hard float).
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
