Cargo segfaults on some builds

[Althorion]

I cannot build some packages, namely app-misc/bat-0.7.1 and dev-util/racer-9999, because Cargo segfaults:

I find it strange, because I can build some others, like sys-apps/exa-0.8.0 or sys-apps/fd-7.2.0 just fine, plus I can build bat and racer just fine with cargo install.

I run dev-lang/rust-bin-9999 with dev-util/cargo-9999.

Which versions of rust and cargo do you use? What's in /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/bat-0.7.1/temp/environment?

[Althorion]

As stated before, I use dev-lang/rust-bin-9999 with dev-util/cargo-9999, recompiled just now.

/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/bat-0.7.1/temp/environment:
https://gist.github.com/6c7e77e88f8f59347d3ba35d251223d6

[gentoo90]

Just tried emerge --verbose bat, also failed. But it's not segfault, it says

warning: spurious network error (2 tries remaining): curl error: Could not resolve host: github.com

which is a bug in the ebuild, just like #340. It tries to download dependencies by cargo itself instead of putting them into SRC_URI.

[Althorion]

Seems like my problems were caused by the same thing, since they stopped after pulling your change.

[Althorion]

Unfortunately, other packages now started to segfault—namely dev-util/cbindgen-0.6.7 and dev-util/racer-9999 (again)…

[gentoo90]

Well, I installed racer successfully with rust-bin-9999 and cargo installed as part of it via USE=cargo. Could you try updating cargo and/or rust and try again? Also launch emerge with --verbose option, maybe it will give you more info about the error.

[Althorion]

I had Cargo as an independent package (not a part of rust-bin, which was emerged without cargo USE-flag).

I gave your way a go and now everything seems to be in order.
