The 
gccrs project, which is creating a Rust frontend for the GCC compiler, has
spent the first half of 2026 focusing on compiling the Linux
kernel. By testing the compiler against the kernel crates, the
development team has made significant progress toward generating correct code
for other Rust programs. As detailed in the project's

weekly and

monthly reports, this effort has uncovered and resolved problems
in areas such as
attribute handling (described in the

report for February), name resolution, and resource management (both

detailed in the May report). Currently, the compiler can only handle simple
standalone programs, but that situation could change rapidly in the coming
months.
