After now reading though the Documentation/ patch:

$ rustup update
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.57.0 (f1edd0429 2021-11-29)
$ make LLVM=1 -j72
...
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
'/usr/local/google/home/ndesaulniers/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library/core/src/lib.rs',
needed by 'rust/core.o'.  Stop.

Maybe I'm holding it wrong, let me reread the Documentation/ again.

I still think CONFIG_RUST shouldn't be selectable unless
CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION is either a blessed version, or above some
minimal value (like we do for CONFIG_GCC_VERSION, CONFIG_LD_VERSION,
CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION, etc).

Also, it looks like I don't have bindgen installed. Anything we can do
there to help the developer out, as in informing them that it's
necessary perhaps via a Kconfig check? I don't think I should be able
to select CONFIG_RUST if I don't have bindgen installed. (Same comment
about version check probably applies, too).  Installing bindgen
doesn't change the error I'm observing above though.
