Description
Noticed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/19214, we don't run the build step for the sysroot right now. It wasn't really an issue before as the sysroot didn't rely on non-builtin proc-macros but now it does.
We should consider changing that, though I don't know if we actually can, given this means building the standard library :) Either way its not really necessary right now I believe.

Research direction
Start by reading the related issue rust-lang/rust-analyzer#19214 and investigating how rust-analyzer currently handles the sysroot build step. Determine whether building the standard library can run its proc-macros and build scripts; done means the sysroot build supports those steps without breaking existing behavior.
