I am reproducibly seeing the following failure from x.py build
against the 1.50.0 source dist in my work environment (where we've built just about every release since 1.11.0 successfully). It fails at rust/lib.rs at 690501e3e9535389a1441cee74d049ba16b963fa · rust-lang/rust · GitHub after "Assembling stage1 compiler". Still investigating but I figured I'd raise it in case anyone is seeing the same.
