The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

GCC Rust Monthly Report #9 August 2021
It's true that if this project succeeds, that would be an outcome, but it's probably worth noting that you'd really only have to add support for the GCC backend to do that, and not reimplement the frontend as well (parsing, type checking, lifetime checking, etc.). There's an unrelated project working to do that: https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc that would likely yield those same benefits for less effort.

Gentoo be like :
platform support (may improve soon)

Recursive fib is faster in C++?
Here's the gcc backend for rustc here https://github.com/antoyo/rustc_codegen_gcc Since this just swaps the optimizer/codegen module and reuses all the other stuff from rustc it needs less work and can already compile many valid rust programs.
-
Anyone used the gcc backend before?
I'd like to use the rustc_codegen_gcc backend to compile some Rust programs, but I'm confused about how to install and use the patched libgccjit dependency. I've downloaded the fork provided but don't know where to go from there.

The Tor Project announces Arti, a Tor implementation written in Rust from scratch
I was being a little sloppy and mixing together "actual embedded hardware" with "extensions for applications written in other languages" in my head. I think your point about LLVM is still accurate, though I hear peeps about different projects working on GCC support from time to time.
-
Rust GCC back end was officially accepted into the compiler
This doesn't have anything to do with using GCC to compile rust, but instead using rustc to compile Rust using the GCC backend. You can do that today by using the linked project, rustc_codegen_gcc, which is intended to be integrated into rustc at some point in the (hopefully near) future.

This is the patch series to add support for Rust as a second language to the Linux kernel.
Rather than mrustc you should probably look at rustc_codegen_gcc which uses gcc as a backend to rustc (WIP) or GCC Rust which tries to implement a rust frontend for gcc (also WIP). I think rustc_codegen_gcc looks the most promising at the moment

How hard would it be to port the Rust toolchain to a new non-POSIX OS written in Rust and get it to host its own development? What would that process entail?
Alternatively, there's another initiative called codegen_gcc which is about using GCC as a backend for the rustc compiler. It's (much) more advanced in Rust support, but I am not sure how easy it would be to use a modified libgccjit from there.

"Rust makes me never want to touch C again" -- Matthew Ahrens
In addition to what others have said about platform support, Rust is also on its way to gaining more platform support through rustc_codegen_gcc, the GCC codegen backend for rustc, as an alternative to the LLVM backend. That means many of the platforms GCC supports will suddenly become available with Rust.

Rust contributions for Linux 6.4 are finally merged upstream!
Yeah, rustc_codegen_gcc is a GCC backend for rustc, and its making a lot of good regular progress.

GCC 13 and the State of Gccrs
gcc-rs is one of two projects for bringing Rust to gcc. gcc-rs is the more ambitious of the two, with an entirely new frontend. There is also rustc_codegen_gcc (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_gcc) that keeps the rustc frontend, and only swaps out LLVM for GCC at the codegen stage.

rustc_codegen_gcc: Progress Report #22
Fixing unwinding in release mode is still ungoing. I could use some help here, so anyone with some understanding of unwinding, landing pads or GCC, please come on this issue to discuss this.
-
Any alternate Rust compilers?
Additionally, there is gcc codegen for rustc (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_gcc), which is not a compiler per se, but an alternative code generator, with more architectures supported and other nice things. It's also coming along, but there's still a lot of work to do there too. There's also Cranelift codegen (https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift), which is designed to make debug builds faster, but this is not as exciting/useful as the other 2.

rustc_codegen_gcc: Progress Report #21
Good idea. I added the tag "help wanted" to the issue.

Challenges writing a compiler frontend targeting both LLVM and GCC?
Also, there are indeed ABI issues, e.g. for 128-bit integers and NaN.

A brave new world: building glibc with LLVM
I'm excited about both the backend & the frontend.

Rust front-end merged in GCC trunk
There is also a project for rustc to use GCC instead of LLVM for codegen.
