I'm not sure why you think this is a problem that Rust has? Perhaps you mean something different but the Rust project compiles available code on crate.io upon the release of a new version.[0] C compilers may imagine their new compiler code doesn't break old software, but Rust takes that extra step, so we know it won't.
