the pre-built cargo is broken on powerpc64le

[lu-zero]

It seems that the host building it has a faulty openssl.

here the backtrace from simply running cargo

[lu-zero]

I manually built cargo from 1.30 up to the current nightly and everything works as intended.

[LutzCle]

I can confirm this issue on POWER9 using Ubuntu 18.04.

[LutzCle]

Are there any updates to this issue? It still persists for me using: stable-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu - rustc 1.33.0 (2aa4c46cf 2019-02-28).

[kinnison]

Is this a rustup issue or a cargo issue?

[LutzCle]

According to rust-lang/cargo#6568, this is a rustup issue.

[kinnison]

Then this is likely related to #1681 ?

[LutzCle]

Not sure - is there any way to test this?

[lu-zero]

It is not. The openssl used is somehow faulty. Rebuilding cargo using the host openssl makes it work just fine.

[LutzCle]

Yes, I can verify that everything works with a locally-built cargo.

[lu-zero]

I updated the issue so people do not have to look at the cargo issue for the details.

[ehuss]

This does not sound like a rustup issue. cargo is built in rust-lang/rust — see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/ci/docker/dist-powerpc64le-linux. There is more information in rust-lang/cargo#6320 and the cause has been identified in rust-lang/rust#57345 (the binutils is likely too old).
