It really should be as simple as installing the proper distro
packages, and then "make allmodconfig" will enable Rust. It used to be
much more complicated. So do the pacman / apt / dnf / emerge / zypper
command line to just install the packages, and off you go.

Of course, that assumes you have a modern enough distro that it _has_
sufficiently up-to-date rust packages.

So if you are on something like Debian stable, it's simply not worth the pain.
