+- cargo-install: Make the error messaging aware of `build.build-dir`
+  [#16623](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/16623)

-- Improve patch-related error messages to follow rustc diagnostic style.
-  [#16498](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/16498)
