 ## Building Rust programs
 
-Rust does not yet ship pre-compiled artifacts for this target. To compile for
-this target, you will either need to build Rust with the target enabled (see
-"Building the target" above), or build your own copy using `build-std` or
-similar.
+These targets are distributed through `rustup`, and otherwise require no
