Hi! Just a quick heads-up (and somewhat a reminder for myself in the future):
There was a bug in the ABI code of the Rust compiler on powerpc that was recently fixed upstream. This particular ABI bug resulted in the Rust compiler crashing when trying to build Firefox on powerpc. Since the fix changes the ABI in an incompatible way, the Rust compiler will have to be re-bootstrapped via cross-compiling on powerpc once the version with the fixes lands in Debian. I assume it will be 1.40 to carry the patch. So, if this version will FTBFS on powerpc, we know why and we know what to do. I assume that will also mean we have to schedule binNMUs for all packages built by the Rust compiler.
