Instead, append a "dirty suffix" to the version string when there are dirty git changes and use the version string as the compiler id. This avoids a dependency on the cache hash system, and saves time on first invocation of the compiler since it does not have to compute its compiler id. It also saves time by not having to check the cache for a saved compiler id.

Building from Source
Note that you can download a binary of master branch or install Zig from a package manager.
Stage 1: Build Zig from C++ Source Code
Dependencies
POSIX
- cmake >= 2.8.5
- gcc >= 5.0.0 or clang >= 3.6.0
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x, compiled with the same gcc or clang version above
- Use the system package manager, or build from source.
Windows
- cmake >= 3.15.3
- Microsoft Visual Studio. Supported versions:
- 2015 (version 14)
- 2017 (version 15.8)
- 2019 (version 16)
- LLVM, Clang, LLD development libraries == 10.x
- Use the pre-built binaries or build from source.
Instructions
POSIX
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make install

MacOS
brew install cmake llvm
brew outdated llvm || brew upgrade llvm
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix llvm)
make install
You will now run into this issue:
homebrew and llvm 10 packages in apt.llvm.org are broken with undefined reference to getPollyPluginInfo
or
error: unable to create target: 'Unable to find target for this triple (no targets are registered)',
in which case try -DZIG_WORKAROUND_4799=ON
Hopefully this will be fixed upstream with LLVM 10.0.1.
Windows
