Build fails: "./build.zig:18:11: error: no member named 'setTheTarget' in struct 'std.build.LibExeObjStep'"

Just found your nice little project and tried to build it (zig-0.6.0-2 in WSL) but failed with the named error:

./build.zig:18:11: error: no member named 'setTheTarget' in struct 'std.build.LibExeObjStep'
Seems they changed the build arguments a bit. Unfortunately I am too new to the language to guess where to start looking for how to fix this.

Well, this is why I somehow prefer languages which stick to external build systems like Makefiles, even tho I don't like their syntax :)

/mnt/d/Documents/CS/OS/kernel-zig/build.zig:43:33: error: expected token 'Symbol', found '{'

My zig version is 0.5.0. I also tried 0.6.0 and as expected is not compiling as well.

Build failure: `expected type 'usize', found '*.kernel.task.Task'` in `errdefer vmem.free(t)`

I tried these steps on both OS X and Linux, with the same error in each case. I haven't used Zig before, so any guidance is most appreciated.
