406/// - The minimum OS version / deployment target.
407/// - The version of the SDK they were targetting.

409/// In the past, this was accomplished using the LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX, LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS,
410/// LC_VERSION_MIN_TVOS or LC_VERSION_MIN_WATCHOS load commands, which each contain information

412/// target. Simulator targets were determined if the architecture was x86_64, but there was e.g. a

414///
415/// This is of course brittle and limited, so modern tooling emit the LC_BUILD_VERSION load

456/// For rlibs we "pack" rustc metadata into a dummy object file.
457///
458/// Historically it was needed because rustc linked rlibs as whole-archive in some cases.
459/// In that case linkers try to include all files located in an archive, so if metadata is stored
460/// in an archive then it needs to be of a form that the linker is able to process.
461/// Now it's not clear whether metadata still needs to be wrapped into an object file or not.
462///
463/// Note, though, that we don't actually want this metadata to show up in any
464/// final output of the compiler. Instead this is purely for rustc's own
465/// metadata tracking purposes.
466///
467/// With the above in mind, each "flavor" of object format gets special
468/// handling here depending on the target:
469///
470/// * MachO - macos-like targets will insert the metadata into a section that
471///   is sort of fake dwarf debug info. Inspecting the source of the macos
472///   linker this causes these sections to be skipped automatically because
473///   it's not in an allowlist of otherwise well known dwarf section names to
474///   go into the final artifact.
475///
476/// * WebAssembly - this uses wasm files themselves as the object file format
477///   so an empty file with no linking metadata but a single custom section is
478///   created holding our metadata.
479///
480/// * COFF - Windows-like targets create an object with a section that has
481///   the `IMAGE_SCN_LNK_REMOVE` flag set which ensures that if the linker
482///   ever sees the section it doesn't process it and it's removed.
483///
484/// * ELF - All other targets are similar to Windows in that there's a
485///   `SHF_EXCLUDE` flag we can set on sections in an object file to get
486///   automatically removed from the final output.
