This talk on YouTube seems to suggest that not everything is all hunky dory with Zig as a C/C++ compiler (with reference to libc) but I cannot remember any details since it has been almost a year since the talk was published.

I wonder if things have changed? Does anyone know?

No this talk is about something entirely different, the idea of giving a libc interface to Zig's standard library in order to use it whenever a C project needs a libc dependency and wants static linking. Currently Zig uses musl for that but in a future it could just use its own stdlib instead.

Zig can link against libcs without major issues.

As an addendum, using zig to build libc is going to be amazing. It'd be like a compile-time ld_preload -- so less magical and you have much more control over the scope
