Gen AI suggestions to solve the build error:

Based on the log output and package configuration, I'll analyze the build failure:

• Detected Error: While the error output is truncated, it appears the build process stopped after installing dependencies without showing a specific error message. This suggests the build may be failing silently or the error occurs in a subsequent step.

• Error Category: Build Configuration

• Failure Point: After dependency installation, likely during the cargo build step

• Root Cause Analysis: The issue appears to be related to Rust toolchain configuration. The package specifies Rust 1.83.0 but linkerd2-proxy may require a newer version based on its dependencies.

• Suggested Fix:

1. Update the environment section to specify the Rust version explicitly:

environment:
  contents:
    packages:
      - build-base
      - busybox
      - ca-certificates-bundle
      - cargo-auditable
      - clang
      - cmake
      - openssf-compiler-options
      - rust>=1.74.0  # Update to newer Rust version
  environment:
    RUSTFLAGS: "--cfg tokio_unstable"
    RUST_BACKTRACE: "1"  # Add for better error reporting

2. Add additional build dependencies:

    packages:
      - protobuf  # Required for linkerd2-proxy builds
      - pkg-config
      - openssl-dev

• Explanation: Linkerd2-proxy 2.271.0 likely requires a newer Rust toolchain than 1.83.0. Adding protobuf and SSL development packages addresses common build dependencies for proxy systems. The RUST_BACKTRACE environment variable will help with debugging if there are further issues.

• Additional Notes:

• The package may benefit from additional runtime dependencies
• Consider adding build-time memory limits if OOM issues occur
• The tokio_unstable flag is correctly set for linkerd2-proxy requirements
