good news on this front: the file is essentially ten machine code instructions. we're going to turn these into an inline constant with comment and kill the file. it's the exact same content, but the presentation is different, and IMHO this is DFSG-compatible (we'll see what ftpmasters have to say). a bug has been filed upstream by the project author, and i'm planning on implementing it this evening: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/22487
