Research direction
Start in the compiletest handling for the //@ aux-crate directive and reproduce the reported behavior with dylibs, staticlibs, and rlibs. Compare the existing test cases and build results for each library type; done means the directive behaves consistently across the supported library types and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
