Is there a reason to not just turn clippy on always? Might be nicer to
start off with good practices by default. :^)

Are there *.rmeta directories that we _don't_ want to remove via `make
mrproper`? I'm curious why *.rmeta isn't just part of MRPROPER_FILES?

I don't think we need to repeat dir/* here again for rust. The
existing targets listed above (outside this hunk) make sense in both
contexts.

Does rustc really use .i as a conventional suffix for macro expanded
sources? (The C compiler might use the -x flag to override the guess
it would make based on the file extension; I'm curious if rustc can
ingest .i files or will it warn?)

Are these two kconfigs used anywhere?

Not that it's important to do so, but a couple hunks s/compiler/C
compiler/. Those _could_ probably get submitted ahead of this, but not
important to do so.

How does enabling or disabling debug info work for rustc? I may have
missed it, but I was surprised to see no additional flags getting
passed to rustc based on CONFIG_DEBUG info.

Ah, that explains the host rust build infra.  Bravo! Hard coding the
target files was my major concern last I looked at the series. I'm
very happy to see it be generated properly from .config!

I haven't actually reviewed this yet, but it makes me significantly
more confident in the series to see this approach added. Good job
whoever wrote this.

Does `$(READELF) -p .comment foo.o` print anything about which
compiler was used? That seems less brittle IMO.

Modulo the RUST_OPT_LEVEL_SIMILAR_AS_CHOSEN_FOR_C which I'm not a fan
of, this is looking good to me. Masahiro, what are your thoughts on
the build system support?
