This upgrades the default version of zig to zig_0_12, which builds
reproducibly on darwin.

Fixes #299091.

Also upgrades all packages compatible with zig 0.12 to that version.
I tried to upgrade packages currently pinning 0.11 as well, but only a
few worked.

}:

stdenv.mkDerivation {
  # . . .

  nativeBuildInputs = [
    zig.hook
  ];

  zigBuildFlags = [ "-Dman-pages=true" ];

  dontUseZigCheck = true;

  # . . .
}
