GStreamer Now Supports Multi-Threaded Scaling/Conversion For Big Performance Win
What have you exactly linked? Rust compiler can't compile itself, as shown on the same page you linked. You need
g++ 4.7 or later or clang++ 3.x
A quote from that link....
Since the Rust compiler is written in Rust, it must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version of itself (made in an earlier state of development). As such, source builds require a connection to the Internet, to fetch snapshots, and an OS that can execute the available snapshot binaries.
EDIT: So it seems like that's just a dependency needed for interop with c++.

Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software. - rust-lang/rust
Yep, it definitely is already bootstrapped and written in rust.
The rust compiler you're referring to is just a frontend to LLVM, got it now? Even if you're not doing a full bootstrap, CC(X) is still required for building a few C/C++ components and linking.
btw, do you see this shit: all fedora radeonsi users have to suffer without new driver features because of some useless toy language stopping llvm upgrade
