Build OK on current/amd64.
I have a similar diff for Zig release 0.16.0 using codeberg to download sources bundle.

You said that you bumps the stack limit to 16mb but in your patch, you don't modify the 'do-build' step:

# set stacksize limit to 10M during the build
do-build:
        @ulimit -s 10240 && ${MODCMAKE_BUILD_TARGET}

I was unable to run tests via 'make test', some archs (riscv32-linux-gnu, riscv64-linux-gnu...) needs more than 18 GB RAM to run.
