Installation of cbindgen
Install cbindgen by running the following commands:
cargo build --release
To test the results, issue: cargo
test --release. Three tests in profile.rs are known to fail because they expect
some Rust unstable features disabled in the BLFS rustc-1.96.0

Now, as the root user:
install -Dm755 target/release/cbindgen /usr/bin/
