Does this mean that all architectures that Linux supports but Rust doesn't are straight in the bin?

No, Rust is in the kernel for driver subsystems. Core linux parts can't be written in Rust yet for the problem you mention. But new drivers *can* be written in Rust

Some people talk about 68k not being supported being a problem

		m68k Linux is supported by Rust, even in the LLVM backend. Rust also has an experimental GCC-based codegen backend (based on libgccjit (which isn't used as a JIT)). So platforms that don't have either LLVM nor recent GCC are screwed.
