OK.  In
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-09/msg01991.html>, I
suggested using =E2=80=98share/rust-source=E2=80=99 or similar to store the=
 source.
Would it be possible?

Last thing: Could you add a couple of lines in guix.texi under =E2=80=9CBui=
ld
Systems=E2=80=9D?

OK with these changes.

Thanks!
