platform-support.md: document the various NetBSD targets.

This is slightly patterned after what OpenBSD has done.

This is a step along the path to reduce the number and amount
of diffs that pkgsrc carries around for rust, and this documents
also some parts which have not yet been upstreamed (mipsel-*).

+
+All use the "native" `stdc++` library which goes along with the natively
+supplied GNU C++ compiler for the given OS version.  Many of the bootstraps
+are built for NetBSD 9.x, although some exceptions exist (some
+are built for NetBSD 8.x but also work on newer OS versions).
+
+
+## Designated Developers
+
+- [@he32](https://github.com/he32), `he@NetBSD.org`
+- [NetBSD/pkgsrc-wip's rust](https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc-wip/blob/master/rust/Makefile) maintainer (see MAINTAINER variable). This package is part of "pkgsrc work-in-progress" and is used for deployment and testing of new versions of rust
+- [NetBSD's pkgsrc lang/rust](https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/tree/trunk/lang/rust) for the "proper" package in pkgsrc.
+- [NetBSD's pkgsrc lang/rust-bin](https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/tree/trunk/lang/rust-bin) which re-uses the bootstrap kit as a binary distribution and therefore avoids the rather protracted native build time of rust itself
+
+Fallback to pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org, or fault reporting via NetBSD's
+bug reporting system.
+
+## Requirements
+
+The `amd64-unknown-netbsd` artifacts is being distributed by the
+rust project.
+
+The other targets are built by the designated developers (see above),
+and the targets are initially cross-compiled, but many if not most
+of them are also built natively as part of testing.
+
+
+## Building
+
+The default build mode for the packages is a native build.
+
+
+## Cross-compilation
+
+These targets can be cross-compiled, and we do that via the pkgsrc
+package(s).
+
+Cross-compilation typically requires the "tools" and "dest" trees
+resulting from a normal cross-build of NetBSD itself, ref. our main
+build script, `build.sh`.
+
+See e.g. [do-cross.mk
+Makefile](https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/tree/trunk/lang/rust/do-cross.mk)
+for the Makefile used to cross-build all the above NetBSD targets
+(except for the `amd64` target).
+
+The major option for the rust build is whether to build rust with
+the LLVM rust carries in its distribution, or use the LLVM package
+installed from pkgsrc.  The `PKG_OPTIONS.rust` option is
+`rust-internal-llvm`, ref.  [the rust package's options.mk make
+fragment](https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/blob/trunk/lang/rust/options.mk).
+It defaults to being set for a few of the above platforms, for
+various reasons (see comments), but is otherwise unset and therefore
+indicates use of the pkgsrc LLVM.
+
+
+## Testing
+
+The Rust testsuite could presumably be run natively.
+
+For the systems where the maintainer can build natively, the rust
+compiler itself is re-built natively.  This involves the rust compiler
+being re-built with the newly self-built rust compiler, so excercises
+the result quite extensively.
+
+Additionally, for some systems we build `librsvg`, and for the more
+capable systems we build and test `firefox` (amd64, i386, aarch64).
+
+
+## Building Rust programs
+
+Rust ships pre-compiled artifacts for the `amd64-unknown-netbsd`
+target.
+
+For the other systems mentioned above, using the `pkgsrc` route is
+probably the easiest, possibly via the `rust-bin` package to save
+time, see the `RUST_TYPE` variable from the `rust.mk` Makefile
+fragment.
+
+The pkgsrc rust package has a few files to assist with building
+pkgsrc packages written in rust, ref. the `rust.mk` and `cargo.mk`
+Makefile fragments in the `lang/rust` package.
