Thank you FRG!
For anyone with the same issue:
I ended up installing "rustup"
Within rustup, I installed and set rustc 1.36.0 as default
Then I built the package and after quite some time (single thread as I needed
to see where it would potentially fail), I now have a working seamonkey-2.53.1
on Arch.
