It generally helps our diagnosis to include your specific OS (for example: Mac OS X 10.8.3,
Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04) and your hardware architecture (for example: i686, x86_64).
It's also helpful to copy/paste the output of re-running the erroneous rustc
command with the `-v` flag. Finally, if you can run the offending command under gdb,
pasting a stack trace can be useful; to do so, you will need to set a breakpoint on `rust_fail`.
It's also helpful to provide the exact version and host by copying the output of
re-running the erroneous rustc command with the `--version=verbose` flag, which will
produce something like this:

```{ignore}
rustc 0.12.0 (ba4081a5a 2014-10-07 13:44:41 -0700)
binary: rustc
commit-hash: ba4081a5a8573875fed17545846f6f6902c8ba8d
commit-date: 2014-10-07 13:44:41 -0700
host: i686-apple-darwin
release: 0.12.0
```

Finally, if you can run the offending command under gdb, pasting a stack trace can be
useful; to do so, you will need to set a breakpoint on `rust_fail`.
