  hey thanks for this I didn't know it existed. I'm still kind of a rust noob and working my way through Rust in action and various examples.

Rust isn't quite portable enough yet. There are lots of small environments or specialized toolchains that are based on gcc that'll compile bash just fine, but once you require Rust, you're eliminating architectures like Alpha (which includes familial descendents like the Shenwei architecture in the Sunway TaihuLight), m68k, SuperH and others. Rust is getting better, but they're not quite there yet.
