Description

I run in an issue by the attempt to run example-kernels and hope to find help this way.
The cli cargo bootimage --target x86_64-bootimage-example-kernels.json finished successfully, but cargo xrun failed

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in example-kernels by running cargo bootimage --target x86_64-bootimage-example-kernels.json followed by cargo xrun --target x86_64-bootimage-example-kernels.json. Start with the reported multiple rmeta candidates for core error and compare the two build paths. Done means cargo xrun completes successfully for this target.
