@cmr @mneumann just ported to DragonFly and had some final suggestions in the RFC thread

Something to plan for, but not implement this pass, is creating a #[cfg(target_libc = "")]. liblibc uses the target_os to work out which libc to use. Linux is glibc, Windows is msvcrt, android is Bionic, Mac/BSD is BSD libc, many other platforms are moving to newlib. Changing liblibc to be thinking about the libc instead of the OS might/should make porting easier (as you'd probably be using an existing libc).

Removes all target-specific knowledge from rustc. Some targets have changed
during this, but none of these should be very visible outside of
cross-compilation. The changes make our targets more consistent.

iX86-unknown-linux-gnu is now only available as i686-unknown-linux-gnu. We
used to accept any value of X greater than 1. i686 was released in 1995, and
should encompass the bare nimimum of what Rust supports on x86 CPUs.

The only two windows targets are now i686-pc-windows-gnu and
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.

The iOS target has been renamed from arm-apple-ios to arm-apple-darwin.

A complete list of the targets we accept now:

arm-apple-darwin
arm-linux-androideabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf

i686-apple-darwin
i686-pc-windows-gnu
i686-unknown-freebsd
i686-unknown-linux-gnu

mips-unknown-linux-gnu
mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu

x86_64-apple-darwin
x86_64-unknown-freebsd
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Closes #16093
