In order to cross-compile the Debian cargo package I have to explicitly set RUSTFLAGS += -C linker=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)-gcc, see here. I originally didn't think too much of this, however rustbuild does not require me to set this sort of thing when cross-compiling rustc, it automatically detects the appropriate linker to use. I wonder if it's possible to add similar detection logic to Cargo?
