How does Rust help you if you have to cross-compile?

You can compile rust in one go. If you rely on native libraries, you need to be able to link them during cargo build and that's painful to set up. Not impossible... just really annoying to manage.

I'm not positive, but I think GP intended to refer to idea that you would need to multiple compilers to compile the project rather than cross-compiling to another platform.
