Rust in Linux kernel is just a beginning

gccrs is entering the scene with GCC-13. We'll see how it turns out. It'll become part of the GCC toolchain, so everything can use the same pipe.

From a bootstrapping perspective, GCC is not perfect, either, because of the C++ addition in 5.0 (at least I think that's the version.)

So to bootstrap rust this way, you'd need to go GCC 4.2 -> GCC 13+ -> Rust

I meant directly compiling Rust with gccrs, which will be included in gcc toolchain starting gcc13.
