As Gary points out, it is an environment variable being set in the
top-level `Makefile` nearby the other flags. I considered adding it to
the command-line instead so that copy-pasting the lines is easier,
even if it means being a bit more verbose.
In any case, note that it is an escape hatch intended to be internal
to the compiler (which explains the error message not mentioning it)
and thus should be avoided unless a project has very special
constraints.
Our goal is to drop its usage as soon as it is feasible, but it will
take a while. It is also why we only maintain support for a given
`rustc` version for the moment.
Cheers,
Miguel
