You are completely right, and I missed that altogether!!

In v6, I have reverted Patch 1 back to depending explicitly on
$(LIB_FILE) $(RUST_LIB) rather than $(GITLIBS) so that common-main.o is
excluded from the link step.

To ensure that linking errors in osxkeychain are caught automatically in
future CI runs, I have also added a third patch to the series:
"contrib: wire up osxkeychain in contrib/Makefile on macOS". This adds a
"test" target to contrib/credential/osxkeychain/Makefile and wires it
into contrib/Makefile under "all", "test", and "clean" whenever running
on macOS (Darwin). Now, when CI runs "make test" with TEST_CONTRIB_TOO=yes
on macOS runners, osxkeychain will always be compiled and linked.
