[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1109862: rustc - please depend on gcc-for-host, binutils-for-host

Package: rustc
Version: 1.85.0+dfsg3-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: waldi at debian.org

rustc currently depends on gcc and binutils.  This means it wants the
native compiler and will break if a cross compiler for this arch is
already installed.

Please change that to gcc-for-host and binutils-for-host.

As rustc is multi architecture, isn't this dependency kind of wrong?
