Description

Why is it worth to add this package?

Im looking for a way to add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl in termux for a while now but since termux doesnt have rustup to add targets, it might be better to have a way to add target like the rust-std-wasm32 in the termux packages. In this case we will have a variety of targets not just for wasm32, it might be better also to have for different architectures as well.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a rust std aarch64 package similar to the existing rust std wasm32 package in Termux. To implement, examine the structure of the rust std wasm32 package (likely under packages/rust std wasm32) and replicate it for aarch64 unknown linux musl. The package should define the target triple and fetch the appropriate Rust standard library components. Ensure compatibility with Termux's build system and verify that the package installs correctly. Discuss any additional dependencies or build steps needed.
