Hi Danny,

Alternatively, if we go with removing tests althogether when building
rust for bootstrapping, we can also remove non-essential native inputs
such as git and gdb.  And then we can keep all of them for the final
rust.

As with Marius, I don't have a strong opinion on this, I just thought
I'd mention it as a possibility to speedup rust's build process. I can
submit a patch in a separate ticket if you think it's a good idea.

Thanks!
Pierre
