Hi Randy,

I’ve now limited the change as you suggested:
- rust-native links with LLVM dynamically
- rust-target links with LLVM statically

This keeps the workaround only in -native and avoids changing how the target toolchain is built.
I reran the relevant tests and didn’t see any regressions or runtime issues.
I’ll send V3 shortly with this approach.

Thanks,
