BlackBerry does not supply or support any LLVM-based toolchains at the moment.

Re: <Query> [RUST compilation for QNX]   
It is unlikely to be supported in the next SDP release.

Rust is still in constant flux with new and incompatible releases that arrive at a much faster cadence than the QNX SDP 
release cycle. We could choose to fix on an older release of Rust but that would not serve those who prefer the "move 
fast and break things" model, which is not completely appropriate to the embedded world. Since the upstream Rust 
developers do not support older versions of their product this would pose a considerable problem for QNX support.

Additionally, the Rust development ecosystem is a centralized one in which crates.io itself would need to serve binaries
 for QNX. Alternatively, developers could break with the cargo tool. There are very large problems with either of those 
approaches.

That said, there is nothing to stop an enterprising individual from making a Rust and Cargo development environment 
available for QNX. It just won't be coming from BlackBerry in the next SDP release.

Re: <Query> [RUST compilation for QNX]   
Dear Stephen,

is there any way for us to recompile GCC to newer versions and backends for QNX? This might enable gccrs (the Gnu 
implementation).
