Unable to read target specs when rust 1.73 is bootstrapped in yocto poky

help
1

When executing python3 src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py test in poky rust sources,

After building stage1 library artifacts, the rust build fails as follows-

error: output of --print=file-names missing when learning about target-specific information from rustc

Similar issues were raised in rust github issues (#116698 and #108343) which suggested to uninstall rust using rustup.

But, poky doesn't have rustup binary when rust is build. I am trying here to build the rust sources and then run all the rust test suites.

The respective x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.json file is generated in the build but is not been fetched/read to give rustc --print file-names output during build process.
Why is this error shown and how to fix it?

Can you post the full error message?

If you manually run the mentioned command, what do you get as output?
