rustc currently depends on gcc and binutils.  This means it wants the
native compiler and will break if a cross compiler for this arch is
already installed.

Please change that to gcc-for-host and binutils-for-host.

As rustc is multi architecture, isn't this dependency kind of wrong?

It's there for historical reasons, and I plan to revamp that
part of the packaging for Forky!
