Unless anybody points to something else soon, I think those are the
only packages using rust.

Meanwhile: librsvg builds fine, seamonkey too, but firefox-62.0
didn't.  Google and FreeBSD brought me to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1479540
with the patch visible at
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/36f4ba2fb6f5

With that applied, 62.0 builds fine both with our current
rustc-1.25.0 and with 1.29.0.

I was thinking that my next step on this odyssey would be to build
rustc-1.29.0 on a 4-core machine (to measure it).  But phoronix
reports llvm-7.0 is now tagged, but will probably not be released
for a few days to give them time to build binaries - original at

http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-September/126164.html

So I guess I won't try building 1.29.0 until 7.0 is out.
