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.

how on earth is linux being compiled for platforms without a GCC?

additionally, I believe the GCC backend is incomplete. the `core` library is able to compile, but rust's `std` cannot be.

I don't believe Rust for Linux use std. I'm not sure how much of Rust for Linux the GCC/Rust effort(s) are able to compile, but if it was "all of it" I'm sure we'd have heard about it.
