For now, the shared libraries of Rust are private.
The rational is the following:
* Upstream prefers static linking for now
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/10209
* rust is still under heavy development. As far as we know, there is
no commitement from upstream to provide a stable ABI for now.
Until we know more, we cannot take the chance to have Rust-built packages
failing at each release of the compiler.
* Static builds are working out of the box just fine
* However, LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be updated when -C prefer-dynamic is used
