rustbuild: Use src/rustc for assembled compilers

The `src/rustc` path is intended for assembling a compiler (e.g. the bare bones)
not actually compiling the whole compiler itself. This path was accidentally
getting hijacked to represent the whole compiler being compiled, so let's
redirect that elsewhere for that particular cargo project.

Closes #38039
