Several Cargo-based ebuilds cannot use cargo_src_install for various reasons and manually install binaries from within the target directory instead. It is common to see `target/$(usex debug debug release)`, but this lacks the target ABI when cross-compiling, so provide a helper function.
Glad that someone is working on better cross-compilation support for rust. :)
That said, many rust ebuilds generate shell completions by invoking the just compiled binary in src_install(). This does not work out of the box when cross-compiling.
Is there anything we can or should do about it (besides binfmt_misc)? For example, asking the according projects to implement a mechanism to extract the completions files from the binary without running it, or have the build system generate the completion files as result of the build?
