Dynamic linking in Rust is as easy as passing in a single compiler flag, which is what I expect distro package managers will do when building packages written in Rust.

Big problem is Rust's name-mangling, it makes it extremely hard to provide a consistent ABI so dynamic linking doesn't even work half the time without having to rebuild everything - last I checked, maybe it's gotten better?

That's not a problem if you're dynamically linking to a C library or at least one that provides a C ABI.
