Bug Description

It's not possible to rebuild cargo on xenial/ppc64el right now because the current binary crashes during the build. The only way out of this will be to re-bootstrap it on this architecture once the crash is resolved.

The cargo build is fairly quick on all architectures, so I think this would be a good idea to make sure that we don't end up in a situation where cargo is unbuildable.
