Re: [PATCH V6 2/3] rust: Add PowerPC support

Should we come back to describing the target like I did in my first
patch[1] in scripts/generate_rust_target.rs, or should I bring that to
Rust to create a powerpc-unknown-unknown-softfloat target upstream?  Or
is there a better third solution I’m not thinking of?

We are trying to stop using the custom target specs, so we should ask
upstream to give you a built-in target you can use (or equivalently, a
flag to do what you need, but I think the idea is to not have such a
flag).

i.e. even if you used the custom target JSON, we would still need to
ask, since the goal is to remove that script entirely.

Thanks!
