Description
People depend on rustup for all sorts of hardware that I don't have, and that isn't tested. It would be nice to verify that it actually works. Best to come up with some solution that works in a Docker container and can run cargo test against an emulator, probably qemu.

@japaric Do you have a solution for running tests against emulators for common targets?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing rustup test setup and the related issue 687, then investigate how Docker can provide cross-compilation targets and how cargo test could run against an emulator such as QEMU. Done means a documented, repeatable test solution that verifies rustup on representative cross-compile targets.
