Comment (by isis):

 It's possible to have rust build shared object libraries instead of
 static, see the "crate_type" argument in our `Cargo.toml`s and also
 [https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#building-dynamic-
 or-static-libraries this reference page] (we'd just have to add "dylib" to
 the lists, I think). We can even tell it to build both, so desktop systems
 can continue to use static linking and I guess mobile can do dynamic?
