Same here for libc crate after the update, but I guess that's
because cargo is currently packaged and used from the bootstrap
rust, which is dated one version before the actual rustc you can
use now, so 0.13.0 cargo and 0.14.0 rustc.
I hope packaging cargo on its own will add the support for
namespaces.
