rust-1.89.0_beta automatically install llvm binaries to bin folder

[stefson]

hello,

I was just test driving the new rust-1.89.0_beta, and I noticed that there is now a lot of llvm binaries automatically installed to the bin folder.

here is my full install:

this is a self compiled package, all of ../bin/llc and ../bin/llvm-* is kind of unwanted additional binaries.

I have had a look at the bootstrap.example.toml to see if I missed a new option there, but I don't see anything.

[stefson]

hmm okay, it seems as if the default llvm-tools = true was never honored before, and now it is, so I ended up with the full set of llvm binaries.

setting to llvm-tools = false gives me the old behavior back

so unless you want to call for backports of the now fixed behavior to the stable branch, I don't mind to close this bug.

[Kobzol]

Yeah, the options is enabled by default and should actually copy the LLVM tools. We now even require some of them on some targets, e.g. llvm-strip or llvm-objcopy, IIRC.

[stefson]

do you mind sharing the affected targets?

[Kobzol]

I remember this PR: #131405, which enabled it on macOS and maybe.. Solaris for cross-compilation?

[workingjubilee]

unless you want to call for backports of the now fixed behavior to the stable branch, I don't mind to close this bug.

My previous observations have been that the commits we have backported to stable were "this causes a CVE" and "this causes a runtime failure severe enough to make a tier 1 target almost unusable for basic programming tasks".
