Once you've compiled it for one platform, you've re-bootstrapped it, at which point you can use the real compiler to cross-compile for another platform.

- alganet 1y agoIdeally, you want more than one bootstrapped platform. Platforms eventually die, and you don't want to rely on an emulator for bootstrapping. Some time from now x86_64 will fade away, and there's a large chance rust will still be around. I know that this will probably take a long time, but it's better and easier to do it now than later.
