Won't compile on musl without libstd

[clarfonthey]

See the linked thread at rust-lang/rust#37406.

I tried compiling my loop-forever crate on musl to reduce binary size, but it failed to compile due to an error that appears to be a bug; the link_cfg feature should never be called outside of the std build.

I think we just need to put the relevant attributes behind a #[cfg_attr]

[clarfonthey]

This also might be worth looking at the CI setup to see what platforms were missed during testing in addition to musl.

Looks like that was diagnosed in #685

This is currently blocking something I'm working on, and I'd be happy to work on a fix if I understood what that would look like. If the solution is #[cfg_attr(some_check, ...)], what would some_check look like?

My error for reference:

To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.

@Others yes these can all be #[cfg_attr(stdbuild, ...)]

Hi @clarcharr ! I am trying to clean-up issues: is this still an issue for you?

[gnzlbg]

This was fixed in #930

@alexcrichton can you close this?
