Hi, I am the author of this linker. Thanks for noticing it! It uses the self-hosted x64 (and now aarch64) backend, so it should support anything that those backends support. I had to add some more inline assembly support, but now it supports syscalls and can do hello world. :) See https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/ziglang/zig/pull/9337.patch
I think the hardest part will be the brute work of integrating plan9 into the standard library. Once the self-hosted compiler gets a little better, I will start doing this.
