I really do suggest you work on your kconfig. The expectation is any configuration that kconfig is happy with will build. People like Arnd Bergmann do lots of randconfig builds. We don't want his work upset by Rust code. And as a Rust beginning, i find this pretty unfriendly, in that i followed https://docs.kernel.org/rust/quick-start.html but did not get a working build.
It is a "working" build: some people are actually using it as-is on purpose (with the warnings, I mean). Yes, it is bad, and we did not like it when they told us their build had those warnings and still used it, but it means it will make it harder for them when we restrict it. But your message is the perfect excuse for me to send the patch to restrict it, so thanks :) Cheers, Miguel
