There are two issues here:

1. Is 2:rustc actually helpful? All the code runs in the same thread with the same name, so it doesn't add any more info
2. There's no space between the output and the header, so it's hard to read the logs.

I believe the tracing-tree crate, which rustc is using, provides methods for disabling thread IDs and thread names when constructing its layer, so it should be possible to turn this off.

I believe the missing space is probably a bug in that crate, so I'd report it upstream. It's possible this was the intended formatting, you'd probably need to ask @davidbarsky to be sure.

Thanks, I'll do that :)
