rustc failed at Option::unwrap() on None value

[bnavetta]

This looks like #17014, but I'm running rustc 0.13.0-nightly (adb44f53d 2014-10-12 00:07:15 +0000).

The error message was

task 'rustc' failed at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', /home/rustbuild/src/rust-buildbot/slave/nightly-linux/build/src/libcore/option.rs:347`

With this stacktrace:

I'm on an i686 Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Vagrant VM (the official Ubuntu box) on OS X 10.9.5

Actually, I just took another look at the command line, and it had --extern core=. That's probably where the None value came from, but I don't know if it's the expected error message.

[sfackler]

Yep, this should definitely have a better error message.

[huonw]

Do you happen to have a code example that triggers this?

[bnavetta]

I don't have code, but specifying a value for --extern core= seemed to fix the problem, so I think that's it.

[sfackler]

@huonw fixing it now.
