In our two zig ports (www/superhtml and wayland/river) we missed a crucial
detail about zig default settings:
https://zig.guide/build-system/cross-compilation/
"[...] As Zig compiles for your specific CPU by default, these binaries may not
run on other computers with slightly different CPU architectures. It may be
useful to instead specify a specific baseline CPU model for greater
compatibility. [...]"
That means that at least on my system, the packaged binary for wayland/river
won't run. For www/superhtml, setting a more generic -Dcpu fixed the problem -
so I propose to apply it to wayland/river as well.
While here, I'm making another attempt at proposing --verbose and disabling
--color, to make the build output more palatable. Also the build should consider
${MAKE_JOBS}.
Tested on amd64 and arm64. ok?
