I vaguely remember when I manually speicifed the build target I ended up with other issues in relation to then using the built compiler to build for certain targets, but I can't find the commit where I documented that.

I don't know where you got here from, but this project is just a side project of mine that I'm abandoning because the direction it was going people would just compare it to Rust and miss the language goals, so instead I'm restarting my project targeting web assembly and having self reflective capabilities during compilation that would be very hard to achieve in rust

Thanks for you time though
