Rust isn't the only requirement for Firefox these days, but we also need
NodeJS which is currently not available on 32-bit PowerPC.

While it is possible to cross-transpile the JavaScript files for PowerPC
from x86_64, no one has implemented that yet for Debian, so we currently
cannot build Firefox on 32-bit PowerPC.
