Cross Compiling Rust Binaries with Github Actions

• cross

  “Zero setup” cross compilation and “cross testing” of Rust crates

  

When people refer to cross in actions, they usually use cross to build things through a Docker container, avoiding the need for linking. sysinfo uses this, for example. I also use this in my own CI workflow, if you want another reference.

Can you add a note that setting RUSTFLAGS can break linking in some circumstances? I don't think it is the same linking issue mentioned in your post, but it should be mentioned in case someone else stumbles into it. A few weeks ago, I was tearing my hair out over Actions CI failing in the link stage for no apparent reason. I happened upon https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/7984 which casually mentioned that setting RUSTFLAGS (I had used env: RUSTFLAGS: -D warnings in my workflow file) will overwrite linker scripts.
