Research direction

Start by reproducing the -Zbuild-std build for x86_64-unknown-fuchsia and inspect the linker invocation shown in the report. Trace how the nightly sysroot is selected and where librustc-nightly_rt.safestack.a is expected under lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-fuchsia/lib; done means the target links successfully without the missing-library error.
