Building lang/rust on Linux with Musl libc



This port needs to fetch a binary toolchain to bootstrap the compiler from source. It fails on Linux using Musl libc because after checking what the OS is and determining that it is Linux it automatically grabs the "gnu" version of the toolchain.

.if ${MACHINE_PLATFORM:MLinux-*-aarch64} || make(distinfo) || make (makesum) || make(mdi)
RUST_STAGE0_VER=    1.68.2
RUST_ARCH:=        aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
...etc

I'm aware that there is no particularly good way to check for Musl at compile time, but it would be great if this port could at the very least have a way to override the assumption of Glibc, even if it's just manually using the package options framework. Probably better would be if there were a global flag that could go into /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf as I assume there have to be other packages that would benefit by knowing that they are being compiled on a Musl system? I'd be happy to put some work into a fix if there was some concensus as to what the best way forward is.

Thanks -

Nate
