I tried it now--it *does* work on i686 if I follow the README of mrustc and
build both it and rust 1.19 using the Makefile of mrustc.  (I haven't tested
armhf and x86_64 on mrustc master yet)

But when I use our separate package definitions it fails when building libcore
(which is the first library for the target compiler).
Invoke seems to swallow the output, so I have no idea where or why it failed
(grr).

It's easily possible that some rust 1.19 build flags have to be adapted for
the newer mrustc, but I don't know which yet.
(Obviously, mrustc's makefile and/or Cargo.tomls already did the adaption
if any)
