Yeah, the kernel is complicated for them in different ways, so I
assume they will decide which bits to tackle first... Hopefully I will
succeed in my attempts to convince them to focus a bit on the kernel
at least ;)

Thanks!

It looks like it failed when compiling the target spec generator,
which is a Rust host program. If they were to attempt the GCC Rust
support early on, we could make things easier for them by not
compiling host programs with gccrs.

By the way, feel free to remove all the `-D` flags ("denying") when
playing with it since they are related to diagnostics (making lints
errors that can still be bypassed if needed), in case the crash is
about handling those.

Cheers,
Miguel
