- GCC Rust compiler (gccrs) developers are working towards compiling the Linux kernel's Rust kernel crate.
- The team, including two GSoC interns, focused on fixing compiler issues and adding functionality in August 2025.
- Primary focus remains on the Linux kernel crate as it doesn't require compiling the entire Rust standard library.
- Goal is to compile the kernel's alloc crate for dynamically allocated memory types by end of September 2025.
- Recent progress and details are available in the gccrs monthly report.
