+	# it would be much better if we could split out stdlib
+	# complilation to separate ebuild and abuse CATEGORY to
+	# just install to /usr/lib/rustlib/<target>
+
+	# extra targets defined as a bash array
+	# spec format:  <LLVM target>:<rust-target>:<CTARGET>
+	# best place would be /etc/portage/env/dev-lang/rust
+	# Example:
+	# RUST_CROSS_TARGETS=(
+	#	"AArch64:aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu:aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
+	# )
+	# no extra hand holding is done, no target transformations, all
+	# values are passed as-is with just basic checks, so it's up to user to supply correct values
+	# valid rust targets can be obtained with 
+	# 	rustc --print target-list
+	# matching cross toolchain has to be installed
+	# matching LLVM_TARGET has to be enabled for both rust and llvm (if using system one)
+	# only gcc toolchains installed with crossdev are checked for now.
+
+	# BUG: we can't pass host flags to cross compiler, so just filter for now
+	# BUG: this should be more fine-grained.
