We will then be able to use the build artefacts within for the standard library, rather than needing to fetch them from source and build them locally. See #14. Signed-off-by: SlyMarbo <[email protected]>

Now that we have the pre-built copies of the Rust standard library for x86_64-unknown-none, we can use those instead of fetching libcore and liballoc with the host copy of Rust and fetching compiler_builtins directly. We also don't need to build them any more. This takes us part of the way to getting cross-compiling for free with rules_rust. See #14. Signed-off-by: SlyMarbo <[email protected]>

Now that
x86_64-unknown-noneis a Tier 2 target (see rust-lang/rust#95705), we should be able to fetch it as a pre-built release. At the very least, this should mean we no longer need to fetch the standard library sources, build libcore and liballoc (and possibly compiler-builtins too). They should be replaced automatically by specifyingx86_64-unknown-noneinextra_target_triplesinrust_register_toolchains.If we're really lucky, it might even be possible to drop the entire cross-compiling toolchain for Rust. That would simplify things significantly.
