Error output

I compile with this:

rustc hang.rs -C opt-level=2 --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

And that hangs rustc.

Details

opt-level must be 2 or higher, and --target must be wasm32-unknown-unknown.

It does NOT hang with rustc 1.48.0-nightly (d006f5734 2020-08-28), so possibly this is a bug that has already been fixed.
