+#      Official Rust binaries are only published for certain platforms.  The
+#      "bin" option uses the lang/rust-bin package, whereas "native" uses
+#      binaries installed on the host system.  If using "native" with a rustup
+#      installation, you will probably also need to set RUSTUP_HOME in your
+#      MAKE_ENV pointing to the 'rustup show home' directory.  This is due to
+#      pkgsrc overwriting the HOME environment variable during build.

 #      Possible values: src bin native
 #      Default: "src", except on 32-bit arm where it's "bin"
