Hi!

mozjs68 build-depends on cargo and rustc, but it doesn't actually build any Rust
code. The configure script just checks for the version of cargo and rustc, then
builds C/C++ code only [1].

We should find a way to eliminate the Rust build dependencies at least for the
architectures which don't have Rust support yet, so that mozjs68 can be built
on these as well.

Thanks,
Adrian
