Build messages are confusing when build failure is expected for subcomponent.

This is how the current build finishes for me:

error: build failed
This failure is expected (see `src/tools/toolstate.toml`)
Build completed successfully in 0:18:03

What's not depicted here is that all the errors are in bold and/or red text, where as the "build completed successfully" is a rather discrete line at the very end - see this screenshot to see what I mean. I spent quite a but of time trying to figure out why the build isn't working on my machine - when in fact it was, actually, working.

This issue is a build failure. Should be fixed as early as possible. I am new to rust and unable to understand what to do about it.

Clippy maintainer is already working on it. rust-lang/rust-clippy#2140 (comment)

[Dylan-DPC]

This seems to be no longer an issue. Closing
