(experimental)
.TP
\fB\-\-sysroot\fR <path>
Override the system root
.TP
\fB\-\-test\fR
Build a test harness
.TP
\fB\-\-target\fR <triple>

(default: host triple)
(see http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/
autobook_17.html for detail)
.TP
\fB\-W help\fR
Print 'lint' options and default settings
.TP
\fB\-Z help\fR

.SH "EXAMPLES"
To build an executable from a source file with a main function:
    $ rustc -o hello hello.rs

To build a library from a source file:
    $ rustc --lib hello-lib.rs

To build either with a crate (.rc) file:
    $ rustc hello.rc
