Description
I tried this command:
cargo fetch --verbose --target stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Research direction
Start by reproducing cargo fetch --verbose --target stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and compare the command's parsing with the shown rustc -vV output. The issue is done when Cargo correctly detects the host from this output and completes the fetch for the reported target.
