Bingo! You do not have a hardware random number generator, and your setup did not provide initial entropy. There is an ongoing thread on some other list where this currently is discussed with lots of technical details and irritation, but the short story is: - Easiest fix for now is to provide a properly seeded /var/db/entropy-file (shutdown to single user, manually copy file over, reboot). You can create such a file on another machine (with working random number generator) via "rndctl -S $file". After that reboot, all should be fine and the next rust build will not block. - If this is a virtual machine, add viornd(4) to your kernel (and hope the hypervisor supports it) There are variants of the first solution, like generating random bytes by some other means and write them to /dev/random.
