It's a shame we don't have span information here to point out the link attr or ideally the "libfoo.a".

Suggested change
| .help = only provide the library name `{$suggestedname}`, not the full filename | |
| .help = only provide the library name `{$suggestedname}`, without the extension |
Is this better or worse?

I like that it's more explicit about what is wrong, but unix platforms also have a "lib" prefix applied to the filename that the user also needs to remove and saying "without the prefix and extension" seems pretty wordy to me.
If we fail to locate a native library that we are linking with, it could be the case the user entered a complete file name like `foo.lib` or `libfoo.a` when we expect them to simply provide `foo`. In this situation, we now detect that case and suggest the user only provide the library name itself.

If we fail to locate a native library that we are linking with, it could be the case the user entered a complete file name like
foo.liborlibfoo.awhen we expect them to simply providefoo.In this situation, we now detect that case and suggest the user only provide the library name itself.
