The `rustdoc` binary also uses librustc and third party tools may want to use them as they mature into saner libraries, so I don't think static linking is a good option. The stable/nightly Arch Linux packages (`rust` and `rust-git`) symlink away the duplication as the ABI has always been the same for some time. I've never actually seen stage1/stage2 configuration markers used.
