Re: rust on 32-bit arm

Hi,

finally some good news wrt. rust on 32-bit arm 9.x:

I finally upgraded my test armv7hf VM from 9.0_STABLE to
9.4_STABLE, and wouldn't you know, the build of dua-cli using the
cross-built rust compiler 1.83.0 now works where it immediately
crashed earlier.

I have a suspcion that the fixes to ld.elf_so related to thread
local storage may be a reason for this, but that is only a
suspcion and has not been verified.

I'm going to give my armv6 VM a similar treatment, and suspect
it'll also start working again.

Self-hosting the rust compiler on the 32-bit arm variants still
appears out of reach, due to bloat in the rust compiler.

Best regards,

- Håvard
