I believe the most immediate item of concern is that Firefox now uses

code

written in Rust, so you'll be limited to platforms that the Rust compiler
generates code for, and I don't know if anyone is bothering to do 32-bit

code

generation for Solaris/illumos in Rust.


I did some attempts to package rustc for OI, based on the kind of SmartOS,
but with no success for now:
https://github.com/cgrzemba/oi-userland/tree/rust/
components/developer/rust

For Rust community is Solaris a tier 3 platform which means no support.
But the recipe tries to download the rust-std library wich is not
available for Solaris.
I have no pkgsrc build system to see how it works for SmartOS.
I would be grateful if anyone can give some advice.


I created a component for Rust some time ago.
I'll try to push it later today as an example.
Not sure whether it will work with recent versions.


I updated my work on github but it throws still erros on build because 
it use cc instead of gcc for linking, although I set


--default-linker=gcc

and


RUSTFLAGS="-C linker=gcc"


The similar setup works with pkgsrc on smartos.


Perhaps someone has an idea?
