[$] Compiling the kernel with gccrs

Post Syndicated from daroc original https://lwn.net/Articles/1095553/

Pierre-Emmanuel Patry and Arthur Cohen gave a talk at

RustConf 2026
on the
status of the Rust frontend for GCC (gccrs), with a particular eye toward the
goal of

compiling the Linux kernel
. Patry gave a follow-up talk for a more
kernel-focused audience at

Kangrejos
the next week, which Cohen could not attend. The

gccrs project
is
making good progress overall, but it will still be some time until the compiler
is usable.
