Can't pass LDFLAGS or CFLAGS to runtime bindings

[theoparis]

I have a custom xcode toolchain on my macOS machine, and It requires linking directly against libcxxabi.a and libcxx.a for some reason (otherwise it tries to use the dynamically linked version which needs patching with install_name_tool due to it using rpaths). I tried RUSTFLAGS="-Clink-arg=-fuse-ld=lld -Clink-arg=/Library/Developer/Toolchains/LLVM20.0.0git.xctoolchain/usr/lib/libc++.a -Clink-arg=/Library/Developer/Toolchains/LLVM20.0.0git.xctoolchain/usr/lib/libc++abi.a" LDFLAGS="-fuse-ld=lld /Library/Developer/Toolchains/LLVM20.0.0git.xctoolchain/usr/lib/libc++.a /Library/Developer/Toolchains/LLVM20.0.0git.xctoolchain/usr/lib/libc++.a /Library/Developer/Toolchains/LLVM20.0.0git.xctoolchain/usr/lib/libc++abi.a cargo install --path helix-term And it seems like the LDFLAGS variable doesn't get passed to each runtime binding's build.rs:

It's supposed to use ld.lld instead of ld, which is how I know it isn't working.

I managed to fix it by removing the shared libraries from my toolchain for now.
