I did consider that, but for the sake of simplicity, I think I'd prefer just
overriding CHOST when you need to do this. There are already similar examples
of this.
I had a look at app-misc/anki. I think you do need to give --target to the
runner right now if that's building something, otherwise how would it know
what the target is? Perhaps the runner respects CARGO_BUILD_TARGET? If so, I
was thinking of making a cargo_env wrapper helper that would set that and
other variables in the context of the given command. This would be used in
cargo_src_compile, as well as cargo_src_install and cargo_src_test in case any
rebuilding occurs. It could also be used for other custom scenarios like this
one. What do you think?
