virtual/rust pulls in all of the other deps, including dev-lang/rust itself. This isn't needed, as rust is provided by the crosscompile crates from hosts dev-lang/rust

I'm not sure which part of the build is responsible for this behavior, since it is basically a copycat of the firefox dependency style, but the firefox ebuild doesn't pull in any of the virtual/rust dependencies during cross compile.

the dev-lang/llvm ebuild had a similar bug once pulling in dev-lang/perl in cross compile, and I got it fixed by patching the ebuild to use BDEPEND for compile time dependencies, which are only needed on the host and not the target rootfs during cross compile.

Created attachment 659028 [details, diff]
patch to move virtual/rust into BDEPEND

this should fix the bug
