LFS does not need to do all of that. LFS already uses the host computer's C compiler, so it seems just as reasonable to also use the host computer's rust compiler.

Doesn't part of the Rust compliation chain end up using `cc` anyway eventually for like, linking or something?

That might not apply at a "system's" level but I'm guessing in the massive Linux compilation job with module support you're making a bunch of object files with exported symbols?

The Linux kernel's build system uses rustc only for making object files.
