 Originally reported in #38279.

 The [http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/0.5/tutorial.html#getting-started
 Rust Language Tutorial] claims that compilation requires GCC 4.4 or newer
 or Clang 3.0 or newer. I’m not sure whether it’s best to
 blacklist/whitelist compilers based on that documentation, or to just let
 it be until people start reporting failures. That’s up to you, I guess.

 One thorn is that Apple’s Clang doesn’t report version numbers like trunk
 Clang does. So we can’t just blacklist anything “older” than Clang 3.0;
 the compiler_blacklist_versions PortGroup filters on Clang build number
 (e.g., 425.0.24).
