 By default, `rustc` prefers to statically link dependencies. This option will
 indicate that dynamic linking should be used if possible if both a static and
-dynamic versions of a library are available. There is an internal algorithm
-for determining whether or not it is possible to statically or dynamically
-link with a dependency. For example, `cdylib` crate types may only use static
-linkage. This flag takes one of the following values:
+dynamic versions of a library are available.
 
-* `y`, `yes`, `on`, `true` or no value: use dynamic linking.
-* `n`, `no`, `off` or `false`: use static linking (the default).
