Description

I've been attempting to build rust from a clone done today (HEAD is 3736b85779d1db4c215b910004d7efcd7aff8408) on NetBSD/amd64 9.99.81 and I'm seeing boootstrap/debug/rustc crash with a SIGSEGV while "Building stage1 library artifacts".

./configure --set install.prefix=/usr/local --set install.sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc

Then because I didn't want to build LLVM I added the following line to the [llvm] section of the generated ./config.toml:

download-ci-llvm = true

Running ./x.py build results in:

   Compiling llvm-bitcode-linker v0.0.1 (/work/woods/m-rust/src/tools/llvm-bitcode-linker)
    Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 26.06s
Building stage1 library artifacts (x86_64-unknown-netbsd)
error: failed to run `rustc` to learn about target-specific information

Caused by:

GDB 11.0 can't find any symbols to give a reasonable stack backtrace from the resulting core (despite file reporting that the binary is "not stripped").

Research direction

Reproduce the failure from the reported Rust revision using the NetBSD/amd64 target, the generated config.toml with download-ci-llvm enabled, and ./x.py build. Start with build/bootstrap/debug/rustc and the failed target-information command, then use GDB on the core if possible. Done means rustc no longer exits with SIGSEGV while building stage1 library artifacts.
