2. Run `python x.py setup` and choose option for compiler (`b`).
3. Build compiler and necessary tools: `python x.py build --stage=2 compiler library/std src/tools/rustdoc src/tools/rustfmt`
* (Optional) You can also build cargo by adding `src/tools/cargo` to previous command.
4. Copy exectutable files from `./build/host/stage2-tools/<your hostname triple>/release`
to `./build/host/stage2/bin/`. Note that you would need to do this every time you rebuilt `rust` repository.
5. Copy cargo from another toolchain: `cp $(rustup which cargo) .build/<your hostname triple>/stage2/bin/cargo`
* Another option is to build it at step 3 and copy with other executables at step 4.
6. Link your new `rustc` to toolchain: `rustup toolchain link stage2 ./build/host/stage2/`.
7. (Windows only) compile the build system: `rustc +stage2 -O build_system/main.rs -o y.exe`.
8. You need to prefix every `./y.sh` (or `y` if you built `build_system/main.rs` as `y`) command by `rustup run stage2` to make cg_clif use your local changes in rustc.
4. Copy cargo from a nightly toolchain: `cp $(rustup +nightly which cargo) ./build/host/stage2/bin/cargo`. Note that you would need to do this every time you rebuilt `rust` repository.
5. Link your new `rustc` to toolchain: `rustup toolchain link stage2 ./build/host/stage2/`.
6. (Windows only) compile the build system: `rustc +stage2 -O build_system/main.rs -o y.exe`.
7. You need to prefix every `./y.sh` (or `y` if you built `build_system/main.rs` as `y`) command by `rustup run stage2` to make cg_clif use your local changes in rustc.
* `rustup run stage2 ./y.sh prepare`
* `rustup run stage2 ./y.sh build`
* (Optional) run tests: `rustup run stage2 ./y.sh test`
9. Now you can use your cg_clif build to compile other Rust programs, e.g. you can open any Rust crate and run commands like `$RustCheckoutDir/compiler/rustc_codegen_cranelift/dist/cargo-clif build --release`.
