This looks like a good solution. Rust supports musl, but not uclibc. I
prefered to focus on glibc first. Then later, I'll add musl support.

Rust provides rustc binaries for aarch64, arm, armv7, i686/x86, mips,
mipsel, mips64, mips64el powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le.

I only handled the x86/x86_64, without thinking about users running
Buildroot on these other architectures. I'll check this.

Anyway, the rust-bin patch modifies package/rustc/Config.in.host to add
$(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_ARCH_SUPPORTS) which sets:

  depends on BR2_HOSTARCH = "x86_64" || BR2_HOSTARCH = "x86"

OK.

Thanks for the review!
