   set later options linked to our (rust) target in a generic way. Not only
   the triple terminology is different, but also the "roles" are named differently.
   Nix uses a build/host/target terminology where Nix's "host" maps to Cargo's "target".

   rustc was built with musl < 1.2.0 and nix shipped musl >= 1.2.0 which lead to compilation breakage.
   So we want a Rust release that is bound to our Nix repository to avoid these problems.
   See here for more info: https://musl.libc.org/time64.html
