Research direction

Start by tracing the cargo build invocation used for custom targets and check how nightly-only flags are assembled. Confirm the -Zjson-target-spec flag is passed for the relevant build, then verify that the tool can build successfully with a custom target.

Description

Rust has a new feature on nightly which requires cargo build with a custom target to have the flag -Zjson-target-spec. This flag is not currently passed, which means that the tool fails to build.
