[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#989844: Cross-compilation support (please package more libstd-rust-dev-*)

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: rustc
Version: 1.62.1+dfsg1-1
Followup-For: Bug #989844

Some embeded targets would be nice to have

For example

xtensa-esp32-none-elf
xtensa-esp8266-none-elf

and some bare arm mcu targets.

Having parity with gcc would be nice. For example I have these:

gcc-xtensa-lx106
gcc-arm-none-eabi
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
gcc-12-arm-linux-gnueabihf
gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64
gcc-mingw-w64-i686
gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix
gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64-win32
gcc-mingw-w64-i686-win32
gcc-mingw-w64-i686-posix
gcc-avr  (this one is probably not supported by rust, as this is 8 bit platform)

I am not planning to be using rust for them, so not a big prio for me. (I
use C and D on some of the above with gcc/gdc).
