rust/man/rustc.1
nate 63ed7843bb add 'mir' as part of the --emit flag list in rustc --help menu and man doc.
This is added because 'rustc' can now generate MIR (referencing to
"Teach rustc --emit=mir ").

Some of these affect the output of the compiler, while others affect programs
which link to the standard library.

To build an executable from a source file with a main function:
$ rustc \-o hello hello.rs
To build a library from a source file:
$ rustc \-\-crate\-type=lib hello\-lib.rs
To build either with a crate (.rs) file:
$ rustc hello.rs
