+### build-std-features
+* Tracking Repository: https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware
+
+This flag is a sibling to the `-Zbuild-std` feature flag. This will configure
+the features enabled for the standard library itself when building the standard
+library. The default enabled features, at this time, are `backtrace` and
+`panic_unwind`. This flag expects a comma-separated list and, if provided, will
+override the default list of features enabled.
