Hi Hemanth,

Cargo walks from CWD up to the filesystem root merging every
.cargo/config[.toml] it finds. Any such file above BASE_WORKDIR is
silently picked up and can override Yocto's linker, registry or
compiler settings, leading to build failures.

Until cargo provides a proper fix upstream, add a warning so users
get a clear diagnostic instead of a build error.

This can easier be implemented using pathlib.Path:

   from pathlib import Path

   base_workdir = Path(d.getVar('BASE_WORKDIR'))

   for path in base_workdir.parents:
       for config in (".cargo/config", ".cargo/config.toml"):
           if path.joinpath(config).exists():
               found.append(path / config)
