As per @pcwalton's request, `debug!(..)` is only activated when the `debug` cfg is set; that is, for `RUST_LOG=some_module=4 ./some_program` to work, it needs to be compiled with `rustc --cfg debug some_program.rs`. (Although, there is the sneaky `__debug!(..)` macro that is always active, if you *really* need it.)
It functions by making `debug!` expand to `if false { __debug!(..) }` (expanding to an `if` like this is required to make sure `debug!` statements are typechecked and to avoid unused variable warnings), and adjusting trans to skip the pointless branches in `if true ...` and `if false ...`.
The conditional expansion change also required moving the inject-std-macros step into a new pass, and makes it actually insert them at the top of the crate; this means that the cfg stripping traverses over the macros and so filters out the unused ones.
This appears to takes an unoptimised build of `librustc` from 65s to 59s; and the full bootstrap from 18m41s to 18m26s on my computer (with general background use).
`./configure --enable-debug` will enable `debug!` statements in the bootstrap build.

The Rust Programming Language
This is a compiler for Rust, including standard libraries, tools and documentation.
Installation
The Rust compiler currently must be built from a tarball, unless you are on Windows, in which case using the installer is recommended.
Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, it must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier state of development). As such, source builds require a connection to the Internet, to fetch snapshots, and an OS that can execute the available snapshot binaries.
Snapshot binaries are currently built and tested on several platforms:
- Windows (7, Server 2008 R2), x86 only
- Linux (various distributions), x86 and x86-64
- OSX 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") or greater, x86 and x86-64
You may find that other platforms work, but these are our "tier 1" supported build environments that are most likely to work.
Note: Windows users should read the detailed getting started notes on the wiki. Even when using the binary installer the Windows build requires a MinGW installation, the precise details of which are not discussed here.
To build from source you will also need the following prerequisite packages:
- g++ 4.4 or clang++ 3.x
- python 2.6 or later (but not 3.x)
- perl 5.0 or later
- gnu make 3.81 or later
- curl
Assuming you're on a relatively modern *nix system and have met the prerequisites, something along these lines should work.
$ curl -O http://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-0.7.tar.gz
$ tar -xzf rust-0.7.tar.gz
$ cd rust-0.7
$ ./configure
$ make && make install
You may need to use sudo make install if you do not normally have
permission to modify the destination directory. The install locations
can be adjusted by passing a --prefix argument to
configure. Various other options are also supported, pass --help
for more information on them.
When complete, make install will place several programs into
/usr/local/bin: rustc, the Rust compiler; rustdoc, the
API-documentation tool, and rustpkg, the Rust package manager and build system.
