That's something about mozbuild, not the variable itself.
check about:buildconfig page of torbrowser.

RUSTFLAGS show up for me on that page, not 100% sure if they actually get 
applied.

I have no idea how it calls rustc. if it's cargo then to see verbose 
invocations you need to find where the build system calls it and add "-vv"

btw, be careful with -C opt-level=3 for ff or derivatives, it was known to 
cause segfaults some time ago.

for regular packages this variable works fine.

because it's a variable used by cargo to call rustc with given params, not by 
rustc itself.

This has nothing to do with eclass, it's cargo setting supposed to be set by 
user.

CARGO-RUSTC(1) page does mention it
