Zig Version

0.16.0-dev.3073+28ae5d415

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

repro of the issue:

pubfnmain()void{}

zig build-exe a.zig -target x86_64-linux-musl -dynamic --dynamic-linker anything

error: sub-compilation of compiler_rt failed: failed to resolve compilation config: LldCannotSpecifyDynamicLinkerForSharedLibraries

Expected Behavior

compiles without error

btw this is a regression introduced after 0.15.2

andrewrk added this to the 0.17.0 milestone 2026年04月13日 20:38:50 +02:00

Confirmed, the --dynamic-linker argument is not meant to require dynamic linker to be present; it merely informs the compiler of the target dynamic linker path, should such thing be needed.
