The external crate is resolved to a specific `soname` at compile time, and a runtime linkage requirement to that `soname` is passed to the linker for loading at runtime. The `soname` is resolved at compile time by scanning the -compiler's library path and matching the optional `crateid` provided as a -string literal against the `crateid` attributes that were declared on the -external crate when it was compiled.
