Regression in rust nightly 2017-03-04

[Drakulix]

I cannot compile my library wlc (on crates.io) on nightlies later then 2017-03-03 anymore.
The code is not using any unstable features, if compiled with the feature "unsafe-stable" and results do not differ between "default" features (which uses optin_builtin_traits) and the "unsafe-stable" feature (which does disable optin_builtin_traits).

So code, that still works on stable and beta, does not compile anymore without any helpful error messages (see below).

Overview:

Working:

rustup run stable cargo build --features "unsafe-stable"
rustup run beta cargo build --features "unsafe-stable"
rustup run nightly-2017-03-03 cargo build --features "unsafe-stable"

Broken:

rustup run nightly-2017-03-04 cargo build --features "unsafe-stable"
rustup run nightly-2017-03-04 cargo build

Both abort with a stack overflow:

rustup run nightly-2017-03-12 cargo build

Both fail without any specific error:

I have no idea, where I should start to debug this. Reproducing this error is also quite annoying to setup, as the library depends on a bunch of native libraries not available in most repositories. So I am thankful for any hints about how I could provide more information.

All tests where done after running cargo clean.

1.17 is now beta

Probably a duplicate of #40573 -- stack usage jumped up for some reason

[nikomatsakis]

triage: P-high

[Drakulix]

The RUST_MIN_STACK workaround discussed in #40573 works for this as well. So I assume this is a indeed a duplicate of #40573.
