Auto merge of #28578 - gandro:nodefaultlibs, r=alexcrichton
This patch basically adds a target option for omitting the `-nodefaultlibs` flag when invoking the linker. I am not sure if this is the correct or only way to approach this problem, so any feedback is welcome. Motivation: I'm currently working on a Rust target specification for the [rumprun](/rumpkernel/rumprun) unikernel. rumprun is based on rump kernels and uses NetBSDs libc and drivers to provide a POSIXy environment. It provides its own linker wrapper that generates binaries which can be "baked" into a unikernel after configuration. Using `-nodefaultlibs` on the rumprun linker will prevent it from selecting the search paths for the rumprun libraries. My current target implementation for rumprun is here: gandro/rust@295744b Currently, only a target that `is_like_windows` will omit the `-nodefaultlibs` flag, but since rumprun is not like Windows otherwise, I think a separate flag makes more sense. This might be a breaking change for target specifications that have the `is_like_windows` option set to true. Such targets need to set `no_default_libraries` to false in order to restore the old behavior.
