I'm looking at posting some fixes to the upstream zig compiler (PAC/BTI 
stuff) for arm64 and have been bootstrapping it a fair bit recently (and 
noting that it only really bootstraps consistently with the llvm 
backend). I can provide some assistance and am already a package 
maintainer, but this is one of those as needed statements because I get 
buried in random tasks for weeks at a time sometimes. So if you still 
need some level of "helps maintain" particularly for arm64 you can add 
me too.

thanks
