cargo install bootimage does not work unless config.toml deleted

[bentotten]

Unfortunately when attempting to install bootimage with cargo bootimage, it fails with several errors. After some initial scouting online, I retried this from the stable version and from the parent directory, but no luck. After deleting my config.toml, it installed correctly.

Sample error messages:
error[E0425]: cannot find function, tuple struct or tuple variant Some in this scope
error[E0425]: cannot find function, tuple struct or tuple variant Err in this scope
error[E0425]: cannot find function, tuple struct or tuple variant Ok in this scope

This is unfornuately a known problem in cargo. It should normally ignore .cargo/config.toml keys for cargo install, but apparently it doesn't do that for some build-std keys. The current workaround is to run the cargo install command from a parent directory, e.g. your home directory.

See also #853 .

Unfortunately it also did not work from the parent directory; a quick removal of the config.toml did the trick though. Will go ahead and close the issue due to the root problem being with cargo
