Description
A bit of an annoyance -- we should either insert extern crates ourselves using the __cfg_alloc machinery or document this as a requirement.

Research direction
The issue mentions the lib/bin crate roots and the __cfg_alloc machinery; start by locating those entry points and tracing how dependents are built. The issue leaves two possible outcomes: automatic extern crate insertion or documentation of the requirement, so completion requires choosing and validating one of those paths; no test or file path is provided.
