@mrusme As a general rule, please avoid linking to someone's github.com/<user>/<repo>/master because master (and other tags/branches) are not permalinks. You push a new commit, and the link now points to another piece of code.

Ideally, you should copy-paste the relevant code into the issue. If you think that the code sample is too large, you can use permalinks:

As regards to the issue, this is a bug in rustc. The fix is already merged and will be released in 1.44.0.

The temporary workaround is to use this

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=-crt-static" cargo build

instead of cargo build.

Or if you don't need the derive (and it looks like you don't), you can just switch it off with:

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
clap = { git = "...", default-features = false, features = ["std"] }

@CreepySkeleton thank you, Sir!
