This sentence is unclear to me because it does not explain
why we need both despite the spec mentions
'linker-flavor' is inferred from the value of 'linker'.



The answer exists in this thread.
"
As mentioned earlier, we could pass $HOSTLD, but if the linker isn't
named something accurate (e.g. if the linker is not named lld, but is
lld), we need to know how to pass a flavor:
"

Maybe it is worthing menting that HOSTCC may not be properly named.

This is equivalent to a macro in scripts/Kbuild.include

  escsq = $(subst $(squote),'\$(squote)',$1)





I would write it directly in cmd_rustc_procmacro.
