I haven't checked your changes yet, hence I'm asking right away: Do you also have a fix
for the search paths for the driver? [1] I tried to contribute that change back then but
somehow the discussion ceased at some point.

Ah, that's nice. Then we can finally bootstrap Rust for Debian/x32. Great work!

Do you have the fixes for Rust somewhere accessible?

I'll have a look and see if we can already use it in Debian.

In any case, thanks a lot for fixing this! Much appreciated!
