That I would perhaps say ", but Make-exported variables are not inherited" or similar to be a bit more precise (because the external environment, as in the `make` environment, is exported unlike those variables). > not look for the standard library.

The error message mentions `std`, so to clarify I would perhaps add ".... standard library (i.e. `core`)" or similar, i.e. one could think `no_std` is enough otherwise (which would be better if we could, since it is stable unlike `no_core`, but we don't want it here either). > The -o and --out-dir parameters are altered to fix this warning: > > warning: ignoring --out-dir flag due to -o flag > > The --sysroot flag is provided as we would otherwise require it to be > present in KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS.

We may want to make it closer to what we do her, but that can be done later. Cheers, Miguel
