During the discussion before supporting rust on riscv, it was decided
not to support gcc yet, due to differences in extension handling
compared to llvm (only the version of libclang matching the c compiler
is supported). Recently Jason Montleon reported [1] that building with
gcc caused build issues, due to unsupported arguments being passed to
libclang. After some discussion between myself and Miguel, it is better
to disable gcc + rust builds to match the original intent, and
subsequently support it when an appropriate set of extensions can be
deduced from the version of libclang.

Arch Support
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Currently, the Rust compiler (``rustc``) uses LLVM for code generation,
|
|
which limits the supported architectures that can be targeted. In addition,
|
|
support for building the kernel with LLVM/Clang varies (please see
|
|
Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst). This support is needed for ``bindgen``
|
|
which uses ``libclang``.
|
|
|
|
Below is a general summary of architectures that currently work. Level of
|
|
support corresponds to ``S`` values in the ``MAINTAINERS`` file.
