I don't think this was ever true for Rust, as it all starts with an amd64 compiler provided by upstream Rust from which all others are produced or, am I wrong?

Although, I understand the problem, I don't think trying to "bend upstream" will work. If it was a tier one target, sure but, it's not. So, the original question remains.

On the other hand, Rust is already versioned, so supported archs could in theory keep moving forward and older compiler versions kept for those platforms that cannot build a more recent compiler.

I'm aware dropping support for troubled platforms is hardly a solution but, holding back supported ones is by no means any better.
