+        // Dealing with rpath here is a little special, so let's go into some
+        // detail. First off, `-rpath` is a linker option on Unix platforms
+        // which adds to the runtime dynamic loader path when looking for
+        // dynamic libraries. We use this by default on Unix platforms to ensure
+        // that our nightlies behave the same on Windows, that is they work out
+        // of the box. This can be disabled, of course, but basically that's why
+        // we're gated on RUSTC_RPATH here.
+        //
+        // Ok, so the astute might be wondering "why isn't `-C rpath` used
+        // here?" and that is indeed a good question to task. This codegen
+        // option is the compiler's current interface to generating an rpath.
+        // Unfortunately it doesn't quite suffice for us. The flag currently
+        // takes no value as an argument, so the compiler calculates what it
+        // should pass to the linker as `-rpath`. This unfortunately is based on
+        // the **compile time** directory structure which when building with
+        // Cargo will be very different than the runtime directory structure.
+        //
+        // All that's a really long winded way of saying that if we use
+        // `-Crpath` then the executables generated have the wrong rpath of
+        // something like `$ORIGIN/deps` when in fact the way we distribute
+        // rustc requires the rpath to be `$ORIGIN/../lib`.
+        //
+        // So, all in all, to set up the correct rpath we pass the linker
+        // argument manually via `-C link-args=-Wl,-rpath,...`. Plus isn't it
+        // fun to pass a flag to a tool to pass a flag to pass a flag to a tool
