@rustbot label +t-bootstrap

Edit: how very convenient, wasn't even aware there was limitations on label, either way, does this issue occur with x86_64-windows-msvc.

does this issue occur with x86_64-windows-msvc.

I am one of the maintainers of the Rust build at https://www.msys2.org/.

The upgrade from 1.67.1 to 1.68.0 broke the aarch64 build (which uses the --enable-local-rust option).
We can also reproduce it on other architectures and tool chains.

I ... don't see how this could be related to --enable-local-rust? we're not modifying anything in the stage 0 directory, only in the build directory. do you still see this issue if you remove that option?

[jyn514]

oh I see, when that option is enabled bootstrap.py doesn't download the toolchain and so there's no x86_64-pc-windows-gnu folder yet. the correct fix is to add create_dir_all(&build_triple) just after

rust/src/bootstrap/lib.rs

Line 497 in 8efa635

let build_triple = build.out.join(&build.build.triple);
