Description
With https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rustc-1.83.0-src.tar.xz I create this config.toml
# Use different pre-set defaults than the global defaults.
#
# See `src/bootstrap/defaults` for more information.
# Note that this has no default value (x.py uses the defaults in `config.example.toml`).
profile = 'dist'
[llvm]
# Indicates whether the LLVM build is a Release or Debug build
optimize = true
# Whether to build LLVM as a dynamically linked library (as opposed to statically linked).
# Under the hood, this passes `--shared` to llvm-config.
# NOTE: To avoid performing LTO multiple times, we suggest setting this to `true` when `thin-lto` is enabled.
link-shared = true

# Which triples to build libraries (core/alloc/std/test/proc_macro) for. Each of these triples will
# be bootstrapped from the build triple themselves. In other words, this is the list of triples for
# which to build a library that can CROSS-COMPILE to that triple.
#
# Defaults to `host`. If you set this explicitly, you likely want to add all
# host triples to this list as well in order for those host toolchains to be
# able to compile programs for their native target.
target = ['x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu']
# Instead of downloading the src/stage0 version of Cargo specified, use
# this Cargo binary instead to build all Rust code
# If you set this, you likely want to set `rustc` as well.
cargo = '/usr/local/bin/cargo'
# Instead of downloading the src/stage0 version of the compiler
# specified, use this rustc binary instead as the stage0 snapshot compiler.
# If you set this, you likely want to set `cargo` as well.

# Whether to build documentation by default. If false, rustdoc and
# friends will still be compiled but they will not be used to generate any
# documentation.
#
# You can still build documentation when this is disabled by explicitly passing paths,
# e.g. `x doc library`.
docs = false
# Enable a build of the extended Rust tool set which is not only the compiler
# but also tools such as Cargo. This will also produce "combined installers"
# which are used to install Rust and Cargo together.
# The `tools` (check `config.example.toml` to see its default value) option specifies
# which tools should be built if `extended = true`.
#
# This is disabled by default.
extended = true
# Build the sanitizer runtimes
sanitizers = true
# Build the profiler runtime (required when compiling with options that depend
# on this runtime, such as `-C profile-generate` or `-C instrument-coverage`).
profiler = true
# Arguments passed to the `./configure` script, used during distcheck. You
# probably won't fill this in but rather it's filled in by the `./configure`
# script. Useful for debugging.

Build completed unsuccessfully in 0:18:26
At this moment rustc and cargo are not anymore installed under /usr/local/bin. The same upgrade procedure has worked for 1.82, 1.81, 1.80, so this is a regression.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the reported x.py build && x.py install reproduction and inspect src/core/build_steps/compile.rs around line 2239, where the rust-analyzer build fails. Compare the 1.83 behavior with the working 1.80–1.82 upgrade procedure. Done means a failed install does not leave rustc and cargo absent from /usr/local/bin, with the relevant regression covered by a test.
