I saw a report that firefox will need rust from ff-53 (a later post elsewhere suggested it might not be required until ff54). Until now, that has been optional for the releases. So, I raised #8951 and I find the (new - rustbuild) build system horrendous for somebody who wants to build on each machine where it will run, to not build things which will never be used, e.g. code for SystemZ (IBM mainframes), to not have to use all cores whilst building, and to allow DESTDIR installs.
The current (1.15.1) version of rustc allows an old-fashioned ./configure which can mitigate the worst of those issues, but that is being replaced by rustbuild. So: does anybody here have any experience in building rust in a BLFS-style environment ? I can see references to copying bootstrap/config.toml.example to the top-level and changing values in it, but my impression is that only works if ./x.py is invoked: in at least 1.15.1 ./x.py is missing.
