Hello, 

I have an external C/C++ toolchain that I've put together that uses MUSL. I've also built an external Rust toolchain that uses my MUSL toolchain. 

My issue is that there is a Rust Kconfig variable that specifies if a specific architecture supports Rust. 

The Kconfig variable in question is BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS in package/rustc/Config.in.host. 

In my br2 external project I have the following setup: 

My issue is that I can't seem to override the BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS, which masks all other Rust packages.

You may notice that I changed the libc depends line to be or'd with BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_MUSL. It seems that this does not get considered when I choose my external musl toolchain option. In the menuconfig when I search for the BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS variable with the "/" key it looks like it is only getting it from the original file. Does buildroot have a mechanism for overwriting this kind of setting and if not, does anyone have an idea of how I would accomplish what I am trying to do (make buildroot honor my external rust toolchain)?

Thanks, 
Jesse
