Why is "--target" next to impossible to use right?

I disagree.

There is an implementation detail that Rust/Cargo would like to think it's not their problem, but the reality is that the compilation is broken.

This is Rust's problem in the sense that user tells Rust to build a binary, and Rust doesn't build a working binary. Rust congratulates itself for building part of it, and then gives up. That's an unfinished job.
