That is news to me, where is the ABI specified, given that cargo is yet to support binary crates?

You surely can, provided it is made available as DLL or COM.

Rust actually supports multiple ABIs and you can pick which one to use.

The one I use for maximum portability is the C ABI defined in the ISO C standard and on the platform docs (eg the Itanium ABI specified eg in the x86psABI document on Linux).
