Pierre-Emmanuel Patry and Arthur Cohen gave a talk at
<a href="https://rustconf.com/">
RustConf&#160;2026</a> on the
status of the Rust frontend for GCC (gccrs), with a particular eye toward the
goal of
<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/1083202/">
compiling the Linux kernel</a>. Patry gave a follow-up talk for a more
kernel-focused audience at
<a href="https://kangrejos.com/">
Kangrejos</a> the next week, which Cohen could not attend. The
<a href="https://rust-gcc.github.io/">
gccrs project</a> is
making good progress overall, but it will still be some time until the compiler
is usable.
