the build.zig should have const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{}) and then you can switch on that value. make sure when using the dependency to pass the target and optimize, it won't warn you if you don't.
const my_dep = b.dependency("my_dep", .{.target = target, .optimize = optimize});

well that's what I meant when I said "I guess a workaround is if I make the user pass in the target with module arguments but that's surely not it"
because that's a bad solution, because of what you said just now

I don't think it's a workaround, I think it's the intended method

at times like this I wish target was a built-in thing
