Need a bootstrapping solution for distros that does not hit the network #36327

Description

@brson

As mentioned in this PR, some distros appear to be bootstrapping not by using the --enable-local-rust flag to find the bootstrap compiler but by using rustbuild's cached stage0 compiler. To do this though they have to patch the build system so that it doesn't hit the network - rustbuild isn't designed for this use case. There is probably a simple solution we can come up with for this but so far haven't found the motivation to do so. I tried to summarize the situation here.
