Because the `macros` crate exposes procedural macros, it must be compiled as a dynamic library (so it can be loaded by the compiler at compile-time). Before this change the resulting artifact was always named `libmacros.so`, which works on hosts where this matches the naming convention for dynamic libraries. However the proper name on macOS would be `libmacros.dylib`. This turns out to matter even when the dependency is passed with a path (`--extern macros=path/to/libmacros.so` rather than `--extern macros`) because rustc uses the file name to infer the type of the library (see link). This is because there's no way to specify both the path to and the type of the external library via CLI flags. The compiler could speculatively parse the file to determine its type, but it does not do so today. This means that libraries that match neither rustc's naming convention for static libraries nor the platform's naming convention for dynamic libraries are *rejected*. The only solution I've found is to follow the host platform's naming convention. This patch does that by querying the compiler to determine the appropriate name for the artifact. This allows the kernel to build with CONFIG_RUST=y on macOS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
