Description
Right now neither rustc nor cargo are being installed as part of the SDK build - this would probably be quite useful, especially for cross-compiling projects with mixed C/Rust environments.
I made the dumb-simple effort of trying to add BBCLASSEXTEND = "nativesdk" to the recipes, but there were errors from that, so opening this issue to track some more research into the reasons.

Research direction
Start by examining the Rust recipes and the SDK build path, focusing on why adding BBCLASSEXTEND = "nativesdk" produces errors. Research how rustc and cargo should be exposed for cross-compiling mixed C/Rust projects, then verify that both tools are installed and usable in the generated SDK.
