[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#903110: Bug#903110: rustc: wasm32 target is enabled, but doesn't work

[Angus Lees]

Fwiw: Unless there is something that acts on `rustc --print target-list`
without applying some human judgement first, I would rather we just
reassigned this bug to LLVM and enabled wasm.  "Fixing" this in rustc, and
then unfixing it again once we add support to LLVM seems a little bit like
chasing our tails...

Ditto for other cross-compile targets (windows, android, etc) that are
reported in `target-list` but don't _actually_ work due to other missing
parts of the toolchain.
