There is the mrustc compiler https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc It's not fully complete. But there is no reason why it couldn't be.

This is probably what you mean: https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc It's still a work in progress, with only x86 even supported. It's not a GCC frontend, it generates C, and is based on an old version of rust (1.19). Right now I think…
