rust-lang/rust#157151 removed the `x86-softfloat` compatibility alias that was introduced in rust-lang/rust#151154. Nightlies from 2026-07-05 onward reject `"rustc-abi": "x86-softfloat"` with: invalid rustc abi: 'x86-softfloat'. allowed values: 'x86-sse2', 'powerpc-spe', 'softfloat' Switch the three custom JSON target specs to the canonical `softfloat` value.

The newer nightly (>= 2026-07-05) requires `-Zunstable-options` to load custom JSON target specs. `cargo objcopy` runs an internal `rustc --target x86_64-bootloader.json --print cfg` probe (via rustc-cfg) that doesn't pass the flag and ignores RUSTFLAGS, so it fails to load the target, silently exits 0, and never produces `bootloader.bin` -- causing the later QEMU step to fail with "No such file or directory". `rust-objcopy` is the same tool from cargo-binutils but skips the target probe (we pass explicit ELF input/output paths), so it works without the flag.
