Specifying extra rustc flags based on --compilation_mode

[martingms]

Hi!

Currently, the rustc flags -Copt-level (and -Cdebug-info) is set based on the --compilation_mode.
However, I want to also set some additional flags that should change based on --compilation_mode, such as -Clto=true and -Ccodegen-units=1 on opt (with some other default values on dbg or fastbuild), for example.

Is there some way of achieving this with rules_rust at the moment without wrapper macros with select(..), or is that the preferred approach? I'm using rules_rust through bzlmod if that matters, but I could switch back to WORKSPACE if that makes it easier.

Wrapper macros with select is the preferred approach, as shown in the example.

It is not perfect, but allows per binary opt settings. I am unaware of a better solution atm.
