Description
Problem you are trying to solve
We had some nice performance enhancements but hadn't caught an edge case well enough (which has led to a reversion). Lets support that and then re-enable the code
Solution you'd like
Robust automatic detection of different toolchain selection in recursive rustup proxy use. Nothing special needed by callers, except passing through variables
Notes
- #2958
- #3034

Research direction
Begin by reading the issue references #2958 and #3034 to understand the reverted performance enhancement and its edge case. Trace recursive rustup proxy use and the handling of RUSTC and RUSTDOC environment variables. Done means toolchain selection is detected robustly and the variables are passed through to child processes.
