The "official" Rust frontend has a GCC backend that delivers this same value.

There might be other value that a separate Rust frontend delivers over the official one, but this is not it.

If GCC Rust is able to keep with Rust release cycle of new stable features every 6 weeks and new features / fixes on a nightly basis, sure.
