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!

Sorry for the spam, my earlier message got rejected.

I think, disabling altivec, fpu and vsx with compiler flag will work.

What are your opinion on this?
