`zig build` fails with a `dyld` error on x86_64 macOS Tahoe

[kfinn]

Zig Version

0.15.1

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

On an x86_64 machine running macOS Tahoe, create a new zig project and attempt to run zig build. Observed behavior is a dyld error: segment '__CONST_ZIG' vm address out of order in [...]/build.

Terminal output:

$ mkdir zig-build-macos-tahoe-bug
$ cd zig-build-macos-tahoe-bug
$ zig init
info: created build.zig
info: created build.zig.zon
info: created src/main.zig
info: created src/root.zig
info: see `zig build --help` for a menu of options
$ zig build
dyld[96605]: segment '__CONST_ZIG' vm address out of order in /Users/kevin/kfinn/zig-build-macos-tahoe-bug/.zig-cache/o/94ec34d9839cb5dcc5cc3580eeb9cac2/build
dyld[96605]: segment '__CONST_ZIG' vm address out of order
error: the following build command crashed:
.zig-cache/o/94ec34d9839cb5dcc5cc3580eeb9cac2/build /Users/kevin/zig-x86_64-macos-0.15.1/zig /Users/kevin/zig-x86_64-macos-0.15.1/lib /Users/kevin/kfinn/zig-build-macos-tahoe-bug .zig-cache /Users/kevin/.cache/zig --seed 0xbb126b3c -Z35b9e37fdc90c16c

Expected Behavior

zig build successfully builds the project.

I found this reddit post describing a similar problem for zig run, which can be solved by specifying -target x86_64-macos, but I can't find a way to configure zig build this way. Intuitively, I'm guessing it's impossible to override the target for the build program since it's run immediately on the host.

Hm, looks like a bug in the self-hosted linker when using the self-hosted x86_64 backend.

[kfinn]

Is there a way to disable the self-hosted linker or the backend as a workaround until this is addressed? I haven't been able to find a combination of flags to make that happen.

I believe you should use .use_llvm flag in executable settings in your build.zig

Try to use it when build is hidden from you by external tool like exercism. So far only solution is to brew install zig@0.14 and export path to the 0.14.1 version. But it introduces another pain, that std has changed so much between these versions.
