Presence of Homebrew GCC breaks cargo test

[bifurcation]

Code

Standard library crate (cargo init --lib) with the following lib.rs:

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    #[test]
    fn it_dont_work() {
        assert!(false);
    }
}

Details

This is on a development MacBook running macOS 10.14.6 Mojave. On a different MacBook (running Big Sur), cargo test produces correct output (showing a test failure), but the binary produced on the bad MacBook still aborts, showing the following error:

$ ./spike

running 1 test
fatal runtime error: failed to initiate panic, error 5
Abort trap: 6

This seems to indicate that the error is in the toolchain, not the runtime. "error 5" is _URC_END_OF_STACK from libunwind.

Possibly related: #35599

[bifurcation]

Caveat: I have not been able to get this to reproduce on any other Mac, but it reliably reproduces on the one machine where it occurs.

[bifurcation]

Update: It appears there is a conflict with Homebrew's version of GCC.

STR

brew install gcc

# This works
cargo clean && env -i PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" cargo test

# This fails
cargo clean && env -i PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" cargo test

It appears that cc is common between /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin, pointing to gcc in the former case and clang in the latter.

[maddiemort]

I'm also having this issue, but with gcc installed via Nix (both with the gcc7 and the gcc packages).
