rules_zig needs to invoke `cc_common.link` with the `main_output` parameter when users request linking via the C toolchain. See motivation in aherrmann/rules_zig#519 (comment). rules_zig used to work around this issue with the same hack that rules_rust and rules_mojo applied, but this is no longer available as of Bazel 9.0.0, see aherrmann/rules_zig#589.

this is a good idea, if this is preferred by googlers I will submit a similar PR for rules_mojo |

If I get pushback on approving #578 then I will approve this and a similar one for rules_mojo. |

rules_zig needs to invoke
cc_common.linkwith themain_outputparameter when users request linking via the C toolchain. Motivation for this linking mode is provided in aherrmann/rules_zig#519. The need for access to themain_outputparameter is motivated in aherrmann/rules_zig#519 (comment).rules_zig used to work around this issue with the same hack that rules_rust and rules_mojo applied, but this is no longer available as of Bazel 9.0.0, see aherrmann/rules_zig#589. As described in bazelbuild/bazel#23838 (comment) there does not seem to be any other work around available. So, I would like to request to add rules_zig to the list of rule sets that are allowed to use the private
cc_common.linkAPI.Note, this is a blocker for Bazel 9.0.0 support in rules_zig, see aherrmann/rules_zig#592.
