I have no idea how to fix this right now.

Just like with the rustc-std-workspace-core, this needs a xargo patch.

Blocked on japaric/xargo#240

[RalfJung]

As a temporary work-around, miri now installs my fork of xargo that has this issue fixed. Still keeping the issue open though to track removing that work-around.

This has been fixed by a new xargo release.
