[PATCH] rust: Respect HOSTCC when linking for host

From: Matthew Maurer
Date: Fri Sep 15 2023 - 13:30:07 EST


Currently, rustc defaults to invoking `cc`, even if `HOSTCC` is defined,
resulting in build failures in hermetic environments where `cc` does not
exist. This includes both hostprogs and proc-macros.

Since we are setting the linker to `HOSTCC`, we set the linker flavor to
`gcc` explicitly.
