Sébastien, unfortunately Cargo (the Rust build system) is somewhat necessary with Rust, since it uses modules instead of header files. Invoking the Rust compiler manually with a makefile is possible, but somewhat of a tedious task.

Are you building Firefox yourself? That's the only reason I can see that happening.

> Your idea is to call C from Rust in DOS and using DJGPP libc, that's right? 

Yes, that's right. I want to write MS-DOS applications in Rust. So far I've been able to get it to sort of work, but these linking issues are preventing me from building larger programs.
