gccrs is an alternative compiler for the Rust
programming language, developed from the ground up for the
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) project.
While gccrs is not yet able to compile Rust code, it is progressing fast — we are hoping we will be able to compile the Rust 1.49 core library in 2025 and the standard library with the GCC 16.1 release.
When core compiles properly, we will begin catching up to the Rust version used by Rust-for-Linux — in the hopes of being useful quickly!
You can follow the project's progress on our blog.
