Lightning talk: Easy cross-compilation with icedragon
summary
Claims a zero‑setup container that already bundles many musl static libraries and a cross toolchain so projects with C deps (OpenSSL, SQLite, CMake-using crates) build from x86 to ARM or RISC‑V without hand-bootstrapped sysroots. It uses an LLVM/clang toolchain instead of GCC, exposes a CLI so you can cargo install icedragon and run builds in the container; first run is slow for image and Rust bootstrapping, the demo produces an ARM musl binary and verifies it with qemu‑user.
