Apparently this is how people commonly test things in Redox:

cargo install redoxer
redoxer toolchain
redoxer test

It would be nice to be able to do the equivalent of that using cross instead.

There is also a Dockerfile already: https://github.com/redox-os/redoxer/blob/master/Dockerfile.

redoxer is a pretty heavyweight solution. And in my experience, it often hangs. I think it would be worthwhile for cross to add compile-only support for Redox, much like it currently has for NetBSD.

It's unreliable.  It frequently hangs starting the Docker image, before
Cargo gets involved.  Instead, use cargo to do a cross-build for Redox.
Do it manually, since rust-embedded/cross doesn't support Redox.

We've now documented how to use redoxer with cross, but this is too heavyweight of a solution to use by default with cross itself.
