Debian packages rustc-mozilla for building Firefox. Firefox ESR 102 will need Rust 1.59.0, and that version has already been uploaded to stable-proposed-updates. 1.59 is not that old (it's from February 2022), and this actually builds after installing rustc-mozilla (with cargo even):
use std::arch::asm;
fn main() {
unsafe {
asm!(
"syscall",
in("eax") 60,
in("edi") 0,
out("rcx") _,
out("r11") _,
}
}
I guess for the same reason, there's now an LLVM and Clang 13 build in Debian stable, too.
I'm not entirely happy how Mozilla forced Debian's hand here. But it means that there is a relatively current, Debian-blessed Rust compiler, and you can use it for your own builds if you are willing to upgrade from time to time.
