Summary
We already had multiple times a problem with outdated Linker-based compatibility matrix:
The problem is that the documentation is not updated during the Rust release process, and now it's done in some random way. That's definitely not a good way to do this.
I suggest update this page as a mandatory part of the Rustc release process - in this case, no out-of-date states will be found in the future. I don't know in which way we should do it - automatically via some script or seomhow manually - since I am not familiar with the release process. But we need to do something with it.
This information is important for Rustc users (me including), who is trying to use cross-lang LTO for Rust + C/C++ apps, we need this compatibility matrix up-to-date to not guess (aka check manually) Rustc and Clang compatibility.
