They're around 40MB in size, which would be ridiculously large for a dynamically linked binary.

I've confirmed that the OSX/linux nightlies are indeed dynamically linked.

This appears to be because we install from stage3 on windows, which is hard-wired to produce statically linked binaries because I thought stage3 was only used for snapshots.

mk: Change windows to install from stage2
4ba889b 
In the past, windows was installed from stage3 to guarantee convergence between
the host and target artifacts, but syntax extensions on all platforms are
currently relying on convergence, so special casing this one platform has become
less relevant over time.

This will also have the added benefit of dealing with rust-lang#13474 and rust-lang#13491. These
issues will be closed after next next nightly is confirmed to fix them.
