[PATCH v2] Kbuild: fix issues with rustc-option

From: Alice Ryhl
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 13:33:03 EST


Fix a few different compiler errors that cause rustc-option to give
wrong results.

If KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS or the flags being tested contain any -Z flags, then
the error below is generated. The RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP environment variable
is added to fix this error.

error: the option `Z` is only accepted on the nightly compiler
help: consider switching to a nightly toolchain: `rustup default nightly`
note: selecting a toolchain with `+toolchain` arguments require a rustup proxy;
see <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/index.html>
note: for more information about Rust's stability policy, see
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html#unstable-features>
error: 1 nightly option were parsed

The probe may also fail incorrectly with the below error message. To fix
it, the /dev/null argument is replaced with a new rust/probe.rs file
that doesn't need even the core part of the standard library.

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`
|
= note: the `aarch64-unknown-none` target may not be installed
= help: consider downloading the target with `rustup target add aarch64-unknown-none`
= help: consider building the standard library from source with `cargo build -Zbuild-std`

The -o and --out-dir parameters are altered to fix this warning:

warning: ignoring --out-dir flag due to -o flag

I verified that the Kconfig version of rustc-option doesn't have the
same issues.
