Cargo unable to build released version of Exa from cargo registry

[KaranLMungra]

Cargo unable to build released version of Exa

• I am unsure, why the build is failing. I have try and build it several different times in different environments. It seems the issuse is related with cargo trying to build some dependency using std::os::Unix which is not available on my system.

Exa Version

• I am trying to install the released version from Exa on cargo registry using the command cargo install exa.
