Research direction

Start by examining how this Python package depends on cramjam and where Rust or rustc becomes required. Investigate whether a non-Rust fallback can support hashcat on older BE systems, then document the feasible approach and verify that installation no longer requires the unavailable Rust toolchain.

Description

I am trying to fix hashcat for older BE systems, and cramjam pulls in dependency on rust (and rustc is not yet fixed for my target).
