AIUI in the end rustc is patching i686 to make it pentiumpro-based, so not actually a baseline bump? This patching is being questioned: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136495#issuecomment-2632546175 (without apparently realizing that the question should be asked here, not there...) The issue is that without SSE2 it's apparently very hard for rustc to produce correct floating-point results, so the Debian patching makes some software not really behave correctly, which then gets reported to rust upstream, which thus get annoyed because "works for us" (with SSE2). I'm wondering: since Debian 13 won't provide an i386 kernel and thus only support i386 chroots on otherwise-x86_64 machines, perhaps we can indeed really bump the i386 ABI to SSE2 and thus avoid the floating-point issues and avoid departing from upstream?
