Describe the Bug

Hit an error trying to compile minorg from scratch:

Steps to Reproduce

Followed the steps in Compile From Source:

$ curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh
$ export PATH="$HOME/.nimble/bin:$PATH"
$ choosenim stable
$ nim -v
# ! check nim version >= 2.0.0

nim -v reports:

Nim Compiler Version 2.0.8 [Linux: amd64]
Compiled at 2024-07-03
Copyright (c) 2006-2023 by Andreas Rumpf

git hash: 5935c3bfa9fec6505394867b23510eb5cbab3dbf
active boot switches: -d:release

Then:

$ git clone https://github.com/pysan3/minorg.git
$ cd minorg/
$ nimble setup
# ... Download dependencies and setup the environment.
$ nimble build -d:release  --verbose    <-- error noted here

Expected Behavior

No compile error

Compiles fine with nim 2.0.4, but breaks with 2.0.6 and 2.0.8. The workaround is to use choosenim 2.0.4 instead of choosenim stable. At this point I'm not sure whether the issue lies with minorg or nim, so leaving this open for now.
