Rust on macOS PowerPC: Hello, world!

The issue is that mrustc itself and rustc for it are in a single port, and while mrustc is functional, FWIW, rustc fails to build, on all archs (I tried x86_64 and arm64) and with different errors, which is annoying, to say the least LOL
And I am hesitant to commit a half-fixed port.
I will probably try to fix 1.54 for LLVM-7, because if that works, we know for sure that at least on x86 bootstrapping worked fine. While re 1.39 I am not sure it ever worked for anyone at all (not in MacPorts, but whether upstream tested it on macOS and in what set-up).
BTW, if we have someone here who knows Rust and its build process on some common platform, please get in touch, since what I am currently having the most problem with are issue unrelated to powerpc as such.
Quite reasonable. I also suspect 1.54 will allow a lot more software in Rust to work. I am glad llvm-powerpc is now fixed for Tiger, so whenever mrustc and rustc are ready for the main tree, Tiger is ready for them.
I got the full bootstrap working on x86_64 now against LLVM-7. Looks like some build process-related bugs have been resolved in 1.54. I will try building on powerpc.
