 - Linking on macOS now correctly includes Rust's default deployment target. Due to a linker bug, you might have to pass `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` or fix your `#[link]` attributes to point to the correct frameworks. See <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129369>.

 - The future incompatibility lint `deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name` [has been made into a hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129670). It was used to deny usage of `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` attributes in `#![cfg_attr]`, which required a hack in the compiler to be able to change the used crate type and crate name after cfg expansion.
   Users can use `--crate-type` instead of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = "...")]` and `--crate-name` instead of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_name = "...")]` when running `rustc`/`cargo rustc` on the command line.
   Use of those two attributes outside of `#![cfg_attr]` continue to be fully supported.

  - We now [disallow setting some built-in cfgs via the command-line](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126158) with the newly added [`explicit_builtin_cfgs_in_flags`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/deny-by-default.html#explicit-builtin-cfgs-in-flags) lint in order to prevent incoherent state, eg. `windows` cfg active but target is Linux based. The appropriate [`rustc` flag](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/command-line-arguments.html) should be used instead.
