The error is not reproducable though.

I suspect this is another out-of-disk crash, that should hopefully be fixed by all my PRs, the last of which ships in 1.77. It's definitely not an incremental compilation issue.

I think the root cause of this issue was rustc incorrectly handling/reporting I/O errors. I've landed a number of PRs to address the problem; the most recent of those is #119510 which is now part of the latest stable toolchain, 1.77. Therefore, even though I have not reproduced exactly what you've reported here, I'm going to close this because I am reasonably confident that this bug is now fixed on stable.

Of course it is possible that I am wrong and the bug you've reported here is not fixed. If you happen to run into problems like this in 1.77 or later please do not hesitate to open a new issue.
