The arm-unknown-linux-musleabi target used in meta-rust for Yocto didn't
explicitly set the arch to ARMv6 and soft float but was instead done via
target spec files and never had the compiler running on the target.
The targets are:
- `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`
- `arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`
- `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf`
These mirror the existing `gnueabi` targets.
All of these targets produce fully static binaries, similar to the
x86 MUSL targets.
For now these targets can only be used with `--rustbuild` builds, as
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-rt/pull/22 only made the
necessary compiler-rt changes in the CMake configs, not the plain
GNU Make configs.
I've tested these targets GCC 5.3.0 compiled again musl-1.1.12
(downloaded from http://musl.codu.org/). An example `./configure`
invocation is:
```
./configure \
--enable-rustbuild
--target=arm-unknown-linux-musleabi \
--musl-root="$MUSL_ROOT"
```
where `MUSL_ROOT` points to the `arm-linux-musleabi` prefix.
Usually that path will be of the form
`/foobar/arm-linux-musleabi/arm-linux-musleabi`.
Usually the cross-compile toolchain will live under
`/foobar/arm-linux-musleabi/bin`. That path should either by added
to your `PATH` variable, or you should add a section to your
`config.toml` as follows:
```
[target.arm-unknown-linux-musleabi]
cc = "/foobar/arm-linux-musleabi/bin/arm-linux-musleabi-gcc"
cxx = "/foobar/arm-linux-musleabi/bin/arm-linux-musleabi-g++"
```
As a prerequisite you'll also have to put a cross-compiled static
`libunwind.a` library in `$MUSL_ROOT/lib`. This is similar to [how
the x86_64 MUSL targets are built]
(https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/advanced-linking.html).
