Description

Summary

python x.py check fails since commit 27f8efbae2bf906ea6f967dd3fe1eb0e7faf3a2e .

Previous commit 64df9e3c8a38e6975a6376ba0384d0a7bd4949ea works fine.

Command used
python x.py check
Expected behaviour

check should have pass

Actual behaviour

python x.py check fails with message

Checking stage0 gcc (x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)

Additional context

I actually failed to build current master c68340350c78eea402c4a85f8d9c1b7d3d607635 and then run git bisect python x.py check to find first commit that fails to build.

I also tried clear install of Win10 on virtual machine with only python, Visual Studio Build tools and it failed with same error.

Research direction

Start by reproducing python x.py check on Windows 10 at the reported commit, then inspect compiler/rustc_codegen_gcc/src/lib.rs and the bootstrap configuration in bootstrap.toml around the duplicate object rmeta candidates. Compare the bisected commit with its predecessor; done means the Windows check completes without the E0464 multiple-candidates error.
