Following my previous mail to -dev, I've spent some more time looking at rust, but I cannot bootstrap *any* newer release than what is in the book (all die within a few seconds of starting to try to build things).
I find its bootstrap process to be flakey and capricious. When firefox-56 comes out, the version of rust in the book will not be good enough so anyone using firefox will need to think about what to use instead. That's why I'm Cc'ing this to -support. Hoping that somebody clever can manage to bootstrap it, but it's far beyond my abilities. Failing that, I suppose that firefox-52 ESR versions can be used until June 2018. ĸen -- I live in a city.
