`toTargetArch` in `pkgs/build-support/rust/lib/default.nix` is used to set `CARGO_CFG_TARGET_ARCH`. This environment variable is supposed to be the `<arch>` portion of an LLVM-style platform name: ``` <arch><sub>-<kernel>-<libc><abi> ``` Note that the pointer-width (the "64" in "x86_64" and "mips64") is part of `<arch>`, but the endianness (the `_be` in `aarch64_be`) is *not*. Unfortunately at the moment nixpkgs' parsed `cpuType` has no way to query for the three subparts (name, pointer-width, and subarch/endianness), nor any way to ask for just the first two parts. For now, this commit simply fixes the problem in the two cases that matter: `mips64el` and `powerpc64le`, which I believe are the only two platforms supported by both rust and nixpkgs which have a "subarchitecture".
