Yes, I think we should cherry-pick anything valuable before the big
rebuild of the frozen branch (perhaps we should simply sync with
core-updates?)

It's currently building Rust 1.47 (it takes about 15 minutes per Rust).
I'll build it all until 1.54, then recheck a few ones for
reproducibility (at least the first and last ones).  If all is good I'll
send the patches I have.

Thank you for the testing/reports!
