It's not a Windows specific issue, Linux also have some extra system libs needed for Rust stdlib. See for example that Meson unit test: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/test%20cases/rust/5%20polyglot%20static/meson.build.

With https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/11790 Meson can already add system libs for Rust std, but we still need a way to get extra libs from Cargo.toml for libs used with e.g. `#[link(name =...

Adding to this topic, it would be nice to have the information when crate is built with `no-std` so Meson knows to _not_ link with system libraries needed for Rust's...
