I didn't have any problem compiling and linking pure rust programs - 
that commit fixed that issue, but when trying to link rust programs to 
non-rust libraries such as zlib the linker did not look in the lib of 
the profile (unless gcc was also in the profile, I guess). I was 
specifically looking to include rust-htslib in a crate I am building, to 
be concrete.

Thanks, ben.
