Building libffi-rs fails during ./configure stage - issue with cc wrappers

[fnerdman]

I'm trying to build libffi-rs which provide raw rust bindings for libffi. The crate tries to build libffi and fails during the ./configure stage. Apparently it uses cc-native-wrapper.sh as the C compiler, which then fails because of missing compiler features (host machine is Ubuntu 22.04). Why is meta-rust-bin using the host compiler? We'd like to have this build deterministic and reproducible, so we'd like to use the yocto provided C compiler.
