I have locally made the "use-system-paths" patch larger so that Zig can really
honor "CROSS_" environment variables.

The next issue is cross building with pkg-config.  Zig only invokes
"pkg-config", but we don't have a "pkg-config" with search path for target
inputs.  I can add a pkg-config-for-zig to workaround this, and then... It's
dynamic linker path, I'll look into it soon.

Also for reproducibility, bin/zig is the only file differs and here's the diff,
I don't know about this part so I currently have no idea on fixing it.
