Hey Andrew!

 AA> andy@oceanus:~$ rustc --version

I am wondering if it can be used for as a crosscompiler for any of the below targets;

I'd be most interested in x86_64-linux-android given the lameness of the actual target itself.  aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu already works here all on it's own so it doesn't require a crosscompiler.  Hmmmm ... I wonder what x86_64-linux-kernel is all about?  I'll have to check that out soon as my curiousity just got piqued.

 AA> So far I've been finding Rust pretty interesting and cool.

So far the only thing I've used it for is to take care of Firefox dependencies.  I might take it up if it can be used to take care of Android's shortcomings but even then I could see myself losing interest really quickly.  Today find me still waiting for the glibc-2.32 release and for that I am sticking with the usual suspects (gcc, binutils, etc).

Good to talk to you again!

Life is good,
Maurice
