it seems to have built in the meantime, so either the issue was transient, or buildd related? AFAICT, this is just attempting to read a token from the jobserver (cargo uses a Rust implementation that follows/is compatible with Make's jobserver), and it seems the read returned EFAULT. zeha recently saw a similar transient build problem with git on mips64el (where a particular test failed on read(2) into a stack-allocated buffer), so I'm inclined to pin this on the arch/buildd, and not cargo ;) CC-ing the mips porters accordingly, maybe they know more.
