> but without std, the topic of this bug.

I don't think that no-std targtets are off topic for this bug. Rust's
terminologiy is a bit weird in that "std" sometimes means the "std"
crate (which is the thing that does POSIX-style operations), but also
sometimes means std+alloc+core (for example in -Zbuild-std=core, which
replaces any shipped core with one freshly built -- something one might
use instead of having those packaged, except that it will stay a nightly
feature for the forseeable future).

Thus, it can be argued that even the built libraries would be
appropriately named as libstd-rust-dev-thumbv7em-none-eabihf etc -- and
even if not (going for libcore-rust-dev-thumbv7em-none-eabihf), the
implementation similarities to other platforms without host tools
probably warrant lumping them together.
