Are you using llvm recipes from meta-oe (or at least starting from
them)?

I'm also interested.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've asked Servo developer, how they do
cross-builds and he said that it's really simple with Rust and Cargo,
which support cross-compilation by design.

Now reading:
http://doc.crates.io/faq.html#does-cargo-handle-multi-platform-projects-or-cross-compilation?
it doesn't looks so convincing, but I would be happy to test.
