// And here, we see obscure linker flags #45. On windows, it has been
// found to be necessary to have this flag to compile liblibc.
//
// First a bit of background. On Windows, the file format is not ELF,
// but COFF (at least according to LLVM). COFF doesn't officially allow
// for section names over 8 characters, apparently. Our metadata
// section, ".note.rustc", you'll note is over 8 characters.
//
// On more recent versions of gcc on mingw, apparently the section name
// is *not* truncated, but rather stored elsewhere in a separate lookup
// table. On older versions of gcc, they apparently always truncated th
// section names (at least in some cases). Truncating the section name
// actually creates "invalid" objects [1] [2], but only for some
// introspection tools, not in terms of whether it can be loaded.
//
// Long story short, passing this flag forces the linker to *not*
// truncate section names (so we can find the metadata section after
// it's compiled). The real kicker is that rust compiled just fine on
// windows for quite a long time *without* this flag, so I have no idea
// why it suddenly started failing for liblibc. Regardless, we
// definitely don't want section name truncation, so we're keeping this
// flag for windows.
