FTR, there's also an additional problem in the book text (or the naming of the file in the repo). The book says:
Look in ch5/ ch5-impossible-addition.rs for the source code for this listing
but the actual file is called:
ewen@basadi:~/misc/src/rust/rust-in-action/code/ch5$ ls ch5*impossible*rs
ch5-impossible-add.rs
ewen@basadi:~/misc/src/rust/rust-in-action/code/ch5$
Ie, one has the suffix "-addition", and one has the suffix "-add"; the meaning is similar, but anyone cut'n'pasting filenames to look for will be confused. (It's probably easier to rename the file in the repo to match the book text. ETA: The second half of page 141, of the PDF version, uses the name matching the repo; so maybe it's just the "look in" reference that introduces it which has the wrong name.)
Anyway I can confirm properly commenting out the book reference markers does allow the example to compile.

Oh good catch! I will get that fixed.
In this source code, there are two marks
<1>/<2>
the author might forget to comment, making the rustc reject to compile it
