While looking at the code that compiletest uses to build auxiliary crates as dylibs, it occurred to me that run-make tests could potentially benefit from linking to run-make-support dynamically.
This could perhaps result in less bloated rmake executables and faster builds/rebuilds, though that's pure conjecture as I haven't actually tried it. On the other hand, it's possible that the extra effort/complexity required to do so might not be worth it, especially if some of that complexity is in bootstrap.
