If distro policy bans ongoing cross-compliation, I guess the
distro would need to replicate the Rust project's compiler
compilation version lineage on each architecture after
bootstrapping with cross-compilation.
Technically speaking, as i've been told at least, rust can still be
built from scratch if ocaml is available on the platform, starting
with rust-0.6, to 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 and then finally 1.7 or newer.
If a distro really does ban cross-compiling to jump directly to
rust-1.7 or newer then their developers can stoll go this route to
package it. Theoretically it only needs to be done once, right?
Question is, whether we'll be fine with some 7 iterations like you
suggest or we'd need the ~300 steps Henri mentioned.
