 I suspect you need to clean your `work` directories so the new setting is picked
 up if you attempted to build Firefox before changing RUST_TYPE.

 It's for 8, 9, and newer. GENERIC netbsd kernels have no problems running
 binaries from older versions, and the assumption is that people don't
 remove random kernel options. If you have compat disabled you won't be
 able to build Rust from source anyway, since the bootstrapping process uses
 NetBSD 8.0 binaries...
