"duplicate lang item in crate core" when building

[TheBlueMatt]

With current nightly, on x86_64 linux (and reproduced on a friend's machine, linking fails when building with -Zbuild-std. It appears to be trying to link libstd twice, and results in a billion and one error messages, starting with the one below.

cargo +nightly build -Zbuild-std --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -v

error: duplicate lang item in crate `core`: `bool`.

  = note: the lang item is first defined in crate `core` (which `ldk` depends on)

Can you put together a small reproduction, or is there a public project where this happens?

[TheBlueMatt]

Sorry for the delay, this should reproduce:

git clone https://git.bitcoin.ninja/ldk-c-bindings
cd ldk-c-bindings/
git checkout 2021-07-testcase
cd lightning-c-bindings
cargo +nightly build -Zbuild-std --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -v

Ah. The reason is that it is using panic="abort". A workaround for now is to use -Zbuild-std=std,panic_abort.

I believe this is essentially the same as #56 (and #29), so closing in favor of those.
