unrecognized argument: '--zig-lib-dir' #20628
Description
Zig Version
0.14.0-dev.244+0d79aa017
Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior
When I run the following command to try to build the latest version of zig:
zig build -p stage3 --search-prefix ../zig-bootstrap/out/x86_64-linux-gnu-baseline/ --zig-lib-dir lib -Dstatic-llvm
I get the following error:
unrecognized argument: '--zig-lib-dir'
access the help menu with 'zig build -h'
error: the following build command failed with exit code 1:
/home/jeremy/src/zig/.zig-cache/o/04f409a5553650b211f747552cb2d319/build /home/jeremy/.local/bin/zig/zig /home/jeremy/src/zig /home/jeremy/src/zig/.zig-cache /home/jeremy/.cache/zig --seed 0x21503f73 -Ze77f9396bd147a4a -p stage3 --search-prefix ../zig-bootstrap/out/x86_64-linux-gnu-baseline/ --zig-lib-dir lib -Dstatic-llvm
If I run zig build -h it just starts building and does not display the help menu and I get the following error:
/home/jeremy/src/zig/build.zig:598:25: error: no field or member function named 'addUpdateSourceFiles' in 'Build'

Expected Behavior
To build zig, I've used that command in the past to build it and it has worked but maybe something has changed and I've missed it.

#20580 has changes to the build runner (it now takes a different set of arguments).
This means you'll have to build from source (ie. via CMake) to get a version of zig that can build itself.
