panic: "failed to open bitcode file" when changing -Ccodegen-units in successive compiles.

Code

Starting from this project: https://github.com/ferrous-systems/armv7r-issues

Removing most of the code from src/main.rs still shows the issue.

Using:
cargo rustc -- --emit asm -Copt-level=1
followed by
cargo rustc -- --emit asm -Copt-level=1 -Ccodegen-units=2

#![no_std]
#![no_main]

#[no_mangle]
fn main() {}

#[panic_handler]
fn panic(_info: &core::panic::PanicInfo) -> ! {
    loop {}
}
