VAR!= gets expanded on the first make invocation and because rust is a
build dependency, it might not be installed at that time, so getting
the version of rustc was erratic.
Use gn to get the version instead.

Removing __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable was too early. It is still
required for build to succeed with rust 1.88. So add it back.

Pull Request: https://github.com/tagattie/FreeBSD-Electron/pull/165 36.8.1 Hiroki Tagato (tagattie) devel/electron{32,34,35,36,37}: temporarily mark as BROKEN on i386
In pre-fetch target, a node process tries to fetch necessary node
modules for building the port. Currently on i386 platform, the process
stalls and eats up all available CPUs until it is killed, which is a
problem.
So temporarily mark electron ports as BROKEN on i386 platform until
the problem is solved.
