Hmmh. I tried building on beta (rustc 1.53.0-beta.2 (4bac69dd2 2021-05-07)) too, now. Interestingly I get (a different) error on the same crate, vte. This might be related to my system libraries, which could be an explanation for the "cannot confirm". I'm running this on NixOS 20.09, with a local cargo which was installed through a system provided rustup.

So my guess here is: current stable crashes undesirably if the systems libc is incompatible, beta yields a better error. Shall I close this?

Okay, another related note: It seems to be that the current rustc releases require a GLIBC_2.32. Switching the target to x86_64-unknown-linux-musl is not sufficient to evade the problem, as procedural macros still are compiled against the system libc:

error: /nix/store/0c7c96gikmzv87i7lv3vq5s1cmfjd6zf-glibc-2.31-74/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /home/wucke13/documents/projects/rust/async-mavlink/target/debug/deps/libserde_derive-2ddc9d0f929c4e20.so)

    |
293 | extern crate serde_derive;
    | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

error: aborting due to previous error

error: could not compile `serde`

So essentially, the current rustc is now broken for everybody who does not have a GLIBC_2.32 available in their systems libc (unless they compile to musl and don't have any procedural macros in their transitive deps). This is unfortunate.

@wucke13 Probably a little off topic, but I am hitting the same issue, and wondering why is NixOS linking with incompatible glibc despite having plenty of other options under /nix/store. There must be some way to control which one is used.

[dpc]

OK. So pretty lamely, I still don't grok what's going on, but I had a gut feeling this is all some stale stuff somewhere and after doing some OS cleanup, wiping ~/.rustup and ~/.cargo reinstalling everything stuff seems to be working again. There's a reason why Nix community recommends using rust overlays, and not impure rustup package and I think we are suffering consequences of not listening. @wucke13

Probably a little off topic, but I am hitting the same issue, and wondering why is NixOS linking with incompatible glibc despite having plenty of other options under /nix/store

It's not like nixos chooses to link with any particular version of glibc, rather it takes the glibc which was used when build some of the build tools, ld for example. So there is nothing clever about the process, rustc just uses $PATH to discover some build tools, and these build tools will happily propagate whichever glibc they have been built against.

There must be some way to control which one is used.

Unfortunately not, to my knowledge. It's not easily doable yet, but there is efforts on the way to someday get it working nicely IIRC.

but I had a gut feeling this is all some stale stuff somewhere and after doing some OS cleanup, wiping ~/.rustup and ~/.cargo reinstalling everything stuff seems to be working again.

And probably updating the nixpkgs at some point, where the new nixpkgs came with a newer version of glibc?

There's a reason why Nix community recommends using rust overlays, and not impure rustup package and I think we are suffering consequences of not listening.

Exactly this, basically.
