The
rustc
probe done in our build scripts needs to pass--target
toget the correct configuration, which usually comes from the
TARGET
environment variable. However, for targets specified via a
target.json
file,
TARGET
gets set to the file name without an extension or path.rustc
will check a search path to attempt to locate the file, but thisis likely to fail since the directory where Cargo invokes build scripts
(and hence where those scripts invoke
rustc
) might not have anyrelation to the JSON spec file.
Resolve this for now by leaving
f16
andf128
disabled if therustc
command fails. Result of the discussion at CARGO-14208 may eventually
provide a better solution.
A CI test is also added since custom JSON files are an edge case that
could fail in other ways. I verified this fails without the fix here.
The JSON file is the output for
thumbv7em-none-eabi
, just renamed sorustc
doesn't identify it.
