Thanks for all your work getting rustflags into rust's bootstrap.toml. This is awesome!

The command above now uses /tmp/rustc-link. I pushed a commit to your branch to fix it here and a few lines below.

I've updated instructions on building rustc with wild linker because rust-lang/rust#148795 got merged.
This makes you can now put rustflags in the
bootstrap.tomljust like in.cargo/config.toml. This should means building rustc with wild should finally be both easy & reliable.This is a follow up to #1283 which turned out to not work for everyone as on some systems took
clangtooklldnot from PATH but from other some specific path.Additionally it was bothering that every instance of rustflags looks different so I made them all consistent.
