        //   object file. Read architecture from the object file.

        //   not be correctly inferred once 'foo.o' is removed.
        //
        // * Most of the time metadata in rlib files is wrapped in a "dummy" object

        //   normal linkers for the platform. Sometimes this is not possible however.

/// Add a synthetic object file that contains reference to all symbols that we want to expose to
/// the linker.
///
/// Background: we implement rlibs as static library (archives). Linkers treat archives
/// differently from object files: all object files participate in linking, while archives will
/// only participate in linking if they can satisfy at least one undefined reference (version
/// scripts doesn't count). This causes `#[no_mangle]` or `#[used]` items to be ignored by the
/// linker, and since they never participate in the linking, using `KEEP` in the linker scripts
/// can't keep them either. This causes #47384.
///
/// To keep them around, we could use `--whole-archive`, `-force_load` and equivalents to force rlib
/// to participate in linking like object files, but this proves to be expensive (#93791). Therefore
/// we instead just introduce an undefined reference to them. This could be done by `-u` command
/// line option to the linker or `EXTERN(...)` in linker scripts, however they does not only
/// introduce an undefined reference, but also make them the GC roots, preventing `--gc-sections`
/// from removing them, and this is especially problematic for embedded programming where every
/// byte counts.
///
/// This method creates a synthetic object file, which contains undefined references to all symbols
/// that are necessary for the linking. They are only present in symbol table but not actually
/// used in any sections, so the linker will therefore pick relevant rlibs for linking, but
/// unused `#[no_mangle]` or `#[used(compiler)]` can still be discard by GC sections.
///
/// There's a few internal crates in the standard library (aka libcore and
/// libstd) which actually have a circular dependence upon one another. This
/// currently arises through "weak lang items" where libcore requires things
/// like `rust_begin_unwind` but libstd ends up defining it. To get this
/// circular dependence to work correctly we declare some of these things
/// in this synthetic object.

        // `--sysroot` isn't actually enough to get Clang to treat it as a platform SDK, you need
        // to specify `-isysroot`. This is admittedly a bit strange, as on most targets `-isysroot`
        // only applies to include header files, but on Apple targets it also applies to libraries
        // and frameworks.
        //
        // This leaves the choice between `-isysroot` and `SDKROOT`. Both are supported by Clang and
        // GCC, though they may not be supported by all compiler drivers. We choose `SDKROOT`,
        // primarily because that is the same interface that is used when invoking the tool under
        // `xcrun -sdk macosx $tool`.
        //
        // In that sense, if a given compiler driver does not support `SDKROOT`, the blame is fairly
        // clearly in the tool in question, since they also don't support being run under `xcrun`.
        //
        // Additionally, `SDKROOT` is an environment variable and thus optional. It also has lower
        // precedence than `-isysroot`, so a custom compiler driver that does not support it and
        // instead figures out the SDK on their own can easily do so by using `-isysroot`.
        //
        // (This in particular affects Clang built with the `DEFAULT_SYSROOT` CMake flag, such as
        // the one provided by some versions of Homebrew's `llvm` package. Those will end up
