With both gccrs and rustc_codegen_gcc in the works, I am expecting that this
problem will be eventually resolved and Rust can be deployed universally like
C/C++ or other languages supported by GCC.

The GCC backend rustc_codegen_gcc was supposed to be usable for several years
now, but it seems that upstream integration in the official Rust compiler is
rather slow unfortunately.
