So... my main point was that "I have to cross-compile the rust compiler from another arch" is not equivalent to "rustc is not usable in i386". And even if rustc wasn't usable in i386, the binary it produces would be.
So you could have a scenario where the i386 binaries would have to be cross compiled from a 64-bit machine but the end result would work just fine on those machines.
I wasn't aware that OpenBSD's objectives included having each arch be able to build itself. Totally reasonable goal. It's harder to do "dreamcast port"s in those scenarios, though.
