Subject: [PATCH] build.rs: Don't try to set linker flags since we're not
 linking.

First, we were passing `-Wl,--gc-sections` to the compiler regardless
of whether it is MSVC, which didn't make any sense on its own.

But, even more generally, it doesn't make sense for us to try to tell
the linker what to do when we aren't actually linking. (We're building
static libraries of the C and assembly code.)
