   still not exactly sure what gcc-rs is trying to solve

     @bugaevc @jamie It'll also improve the bootstrap story. Rust is pretty tricky to bootstrap from the source ATM. Each compiler version relies on the previous one to build itself. The overall chain tend to be quite long*, GCC has a much better story in that area.
     
     *llvm -> mrustc -> rustc 1.54 -> 55 -> 56 -> 57 -> 58 -> 59 -> 60 -> 61 -> 62 -> 63 -> 64 -> 65

     @Ninjatrappeur @bugaevc Oh wow I did not know that. That’s honestly terrifying and I’m glad they’re finding a way to avoid that

     But even without all that, it would still be a cool & awesome project, and a solid improvement to GCC.
