Do you mean that if I take a typical earm machine like an RPI3 (1G RAM),
and cehck out pkgsrc and do a "make package-install" in something that
depends on librsvg, you think that it will build rust, build librsvg,
and continue, without any issues?

I have been under the impression that building rust required unreasoably
large (by our standards) amounts of RAM, but I'll be very happy to hear
that this has been fixed upstream.

We're in a very difficult position, where upstreams choose tools that
don't appear to be self-hostable on many platforms.  It's not clear how
best to balance the conflicting desires of having recent code and
remaining pkgsrc rather than pkgbin.
