I think I see the problem. The scarthgap version of the recipe sets the
target to HOST_SYS, instead of RUST_HOST_SYS (which issue is very
similar to the meta-rust one)

Try adding this to a bbappend for squeekboard:

EXTRA_OEMESON = "\
   -Dcargo-flags=[\'--target\',\'${RUST_HOST_SYS}\',\'-v\'] \
   -Dtests=false \
   -Ddepdatadir=${datadir} \
   -Donline=false \
   -Dnewer=true \
