Build fails with -Csplit-debuginfo is unstable on this platform

[gco]

Building rust on Solaris-x86_64 for the past few releases (now 1.63.0), it seems that late in the build process it still uses the bootstrap compiler where it fails with:

`-Csplit-debuginfo` is unstable on this platform

from this code: compiler/rustc_session/src/config.rs:build_session_options()

The compiler is invoked with -Csplit-debuginfo=off, but that code doesn't handle "off" as disabling split-debuginfo.

Changing the error to a warning in the build tree does not workaround the issue, I have to change it to a warning in the previous version of rust used as a bootstrap compiler.

Experiencing this when building for custom target (JSON file) on macOS (aarch64-apple-darwin) using Rust toolchain v1.65.0-nightly (2022-09-02)

Can anybody suggest a workaround for this issue?

I, get a similar message on Windows 10 Home:

error: -Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked is unstable on this platform

I got same error -Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked is unstable on this platform` in Window 11 Pro version 22H2 build 22621.900 cargo 1.65 rustc 1.65

Same, clue?

I think at this point all platforms support -C split-debuginfo=off except for MSVC:

Are you still running into this issue?

[jyn514]

I'm going to close this since split-debuginfo=off has been stabilized everywhere except MSVC. I'm pretty sure this requires a custom config set anyway.

@jyn514 I'm experiencing this issue on Debian stable using Rust 1.6.3 when simply trying to cargo install neon-cli.

[jyn514]

@2l47 you're using a distro-provided rustc with a rustup-provided cargo. don't do that.
