I like to build things from source, but I'd also like to hear more details about the problems encountered.
The whole tiers thing is first of all a chicken and egg problem. Which probably could be solved faster by keeping Drew invested. I also constantly have to fiddle with rust's lack of support for T2 (armv7-linux-musleabihf in the past and aarch64-linux-musl now, having given up on the former) and I agree that this aspect sucks and hinders adoption. And furthermore it defies one of rust's main goals, security: With something like ME/PSP having unrestricted access to whatever they want, why bother that much about memory safety?
