Teaching rustpkg how to build C libraries #6403
Description
Sub-bug of #5677
As we discussed today ( https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Rustpkg-Servo-meeting ) this can be done in two ways: shell out and hope there's a C compiler in $PATH, or link rustpkg with the libclang driver. The latter is preferable but is a lot of work.

nominating for feature completeness. we know folks will need this.

A step towards completing this issue would be to provide a hook that a package script can call to declare a C source file as a dependency ("declared input" for workcache). There would also have to be another hook that a package script could implement to build a given C library from its sources.

It looks like this bug won't be finished on deadline, as I have no way to debug the test failure on the Linux bot without VPN access (which I've requested on ServiceNow, but have gotten no response).

That sounds like a request for mozilla.org :: Server Operations: Account Requests on Bugzilla instead.
