Description

Hello, I get an error when trying to install bootimage, this is the output after running the install command:

Updating crates.io index
Installing bootimage v0.9.0
error: failed to compile bootimage v0.9.0, intermediate artifacts can be found at C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-install2oyY9G

Caused by:
-Zbuild-std requires --target

I tried passing in different targets but I don't get it to work, any help on this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing cargo install bootimage for bootimage v0.9.0 on Windows and inspect the -Zbuild-std requires --target failure. Determine whether a supported target or installation path resolves it; done means installation succeeds or the supported command and limitation are documented.
