If there's no prebuilt Rust compiler for PowerPC, then no, it will
simply not be possible.
We have already lots of things in Buildroot that depend on x86 or
x86-64. Check all packages/options that use BR2_HOSTARCH.
So, it's fine for Rust to also require a x86/x86-64 machine, as long as
the proper BR2_HOSTARCH dependency is present in the Config.in.
Best regards,
Thomas
