Details

I've noticed if one uses rustup to change the active rust toolchain the build system doesn't know about it right away, you need to run configure to pick up the change. This is probably due to configure finding and using the "real" rustc path. I'm not sure exactly how to fix this, but it doesn't seem ideal.

If there was some way of telling rustup's rust wrapper "hey, never use crate-specified overrides for Rust versions", we could use that, and switch back to rustup's rust wrapper. User confusion one way, broken builds the other. :(
