-# Build the runtime, copying it to the volume if it exists
+# `proc-macro`s are difficult here on Alpine, with `musl`. Rust expects to be able to build the
+# `proc-macro`s into dynamic libraries, which requires setting `target-feature=-crt-static`
+# (disabling static linking). This will become the default at some point in the future
+# (https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-time/issues/422).
+#
+# While this is fine, Rust/musl will expect to be able to link `crti.o` into the built
+# `proc-macro`s. `crti.o` would be provided by the `musl-dev` package which Rust's docker images do
+# not include by default (https://github.com/rust-lang/docker-rust/issues/68). While we could add it
+# ourselves, we cannot do so _while pinning by a hash_. We'd have to pin it by its version tag.
+#
+# Rust does provide `crti.o` as part of its self-contained builds. We cannot use
+# `link-self-contained=yes` here however, as that would link `musl` into the `proc-macro`s and
+# `musl` may only be linked once into a running program
+# (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/149371).
+#
+# While we can't use self-contained builds, we can use the libraries shipped for self-contained
+# builds. We do so here, adding Rust's libraries to the linker's search path, making `crti.o`
+# available without adding `musl-dev`.
