Like in #2566, clippy is failing on my system with a "multiple input filenames" error. I cannot find any way to work around this, and invoking cargo-clippy directly leads to the same error.

We have some weird code that checks the first argument and removes it if it is rustc, maybe we can now remove it unconditionally

We have some weird code that checks the first argument and removes it if it is rustc, seems to not work for paths

@mcilloni Is this still happening for you when using Clippy via Rustup?

I think we can close this now, since we cannot reproduce this anymore.
