    // (*) Crates marked with `#![no_builtins]` don't participate in LTO and
    // their bytecode wasn't included. The object files in those libraries must
    // still be passed to the linker.
    //
    // When making a dynamic library, linkers by default don't include any

    // --whole-archive option (or the platform equivalent). When using this

    // as our own metadata and/or bytecode). All in all, for rlibs to be
    // entirely included in dylibs, we need to remove all non-object files.
