The host's standard library from the rustup toolchain 2. The kernel's custom libcore.rmeta in the rust/ directory This occurs because the build system uses `-L$(objtree)/rust` for host library builds (proc_macro2, quote, syn), which causes rustc to search the rust/ directory. During this search, rustc finds both the kernel's custom libcore.rmeta and gains access to the host's standard library, creating a conflict. The solution is to separate host libraries into a dedicated rust/host/ subdirectory and use `-L$(objtree)/rust/host` for host builds instead of `-L$(objtree)/rust`. This ensures that: 1. Host library builds (proc_macro2, quote, syn) only search rust/host/ and never encounter the kernel's libcore.rmeta 2. Proc macro builds use `-L$(objtree)/rust/host` to find their dependencies Special handling is added for rustdoc-pin_init, which is a host build (to access the alloc crate) but depends on proc macros from the main rust/ directory. It uses explicit `--extern` paths to reference the proc macros without adding `-L$(objtree)/rust`, which would reintroduce the conflict. The rust/host/ directory is added to clean-files to ensure it's removed during `make clean`.
