I am unable to reproduce. What version of rust are you running? On what system?

[rustyx]

rustc 1.48.0 (7eac88abb 2020-11-16) on Debian 10 x86_64

[dr-bonez]

My mistake, it seems I had rustup set to nightly on my nvidia box. It seems that ptx builder requires nightly for now. Go ahead and run cargo +nightly install --path .
I'll update the docs.

[rustyx]

Thanks, I already figured I had to switch to the nightly rust version.

It seems that the current nightly (1.60-nightly since rust-lang/cargo#10258) ignores CARGO_BUILD_PIPELINING=false

tor-v3-vanity/build.rs

Lines 5 to 6 in 609b486

	// Workaround for "crate required to be available in rlib format" bug
	std::env::set_var("CARGO_BUILD_PIPELINING", "false");

So we need

1. nightly to avoid "the option Z is only accepted on the nightly compiler"
2. quite old compiler which accepts CARGO_BUILD_PIPELINING=false.

It is sort of a deadlock: a year-old Rust-nightly is required to build the project.
