Yeah, that was what I thought. I agree it can be surprising to have
Make targets that modify environment/system-level bits (i.e. affecting
things outside the build).

That can work for many people, yeah. Though I imagine some people may
want to keep builds (and sources) of different kernel versions in the
same parent folder (or even other projects). But one can use nested
overrides too.

Sounds good. In that case, we can send to the list your patch from the
`rust` branch if that is OK with you (i.e. I understand you would
prefer to avoid not just `rustsetup` but also `rustupoverride`).

Thanks Masahiro!

Cheers,
