Sure i'll bisect. Meanwhile i would still like to get this upstream.

It is very early on the cycle -- I would suggest bisecting first.

But it is up to ppc, of course.

Hey Miguel,

I was able to bisect this. This got fixed in 1.87 with
#![feature(asm_experimental_arch)].

1st commit that contributed towards this is
e4f539ea17a3 ("Bump to version 1.87.0")

This caused another issue to come up while building

error: extern blocks must be unsafe
  --> /home/mkchauras/.local/rustc-src/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/core/src/../../stdarch/crates/core_arch/src/powerpc/vsx.rs:38:1

44 | |     ) -> vector_signed_int;

   | |_^

Which is fixed by 
a78d1b092c9c ("Update stdarch")

Both these commits went in 1.87.0 and fixed the build.

Sure, I'll bisect it first.
