Why, we could always use emscripten to compile rustc to JavaScript and use that for bootstrapping!

On a more serious note, ghc at least solved this problem by allowing you to compile Haskell to C (-fvia-C). Writing a naive C code generator from whatever your backend is using is probably not that hard.

I actually did steveklabnik said porting ghc to alpine linux. Lets just say, ghc's cross compilation can be frustrating.
