October project goals update (Rust Blog)

The Rust blog has an updateon its progress on some of its projectgoals. One of the project's flagshipgoals is to resolvethe biggest blockers to Linux building on stable Rust:

Finally, we have been finding an increasing number of stabilizationrequests at the compiler level, and so @wesleywiser and @davidtwcofrom the compiler team have started attending meetings to create afaster response. One of the results of that collaboration is RFC #3716,authored by Alice Ryhl, which proposes a method to manage compilerflags that modify the target ABI. Our previous approach has been tocreate distinct targets for each combination of flags, but the numberof flags needed by the kernel make that impractical. Authoring the RFCrevealed more such flags than previously recognized, including thosethat modify LLVM behavior.
