# Creates a symlink from root_build_dir/target_name to |binary_label|. This rule
# is meant to be used within if (current_toolchain == default_toolchain) blocks
# and point to targets in the non-default toolchain.
# Note that for executables, using a copy (as opposed to a symlink) does not
# work when is_component_build=true, since dependent libraries are found via
# relative location.
#
# Args:
#   binary_label: Target that builds the file to symlink to. e.g.:
#       ":$target_name($host_toolchain)".
#   binary_output_name: The output_name set by the binary_label target
#       (if applicable).
#   output_name: Where to create the symlink
#       (default="$root_out_dir/$binary_output_name").
#
# Example:
#   if (current_toolchain == host_toolchain) {
#     executable("foo") { ... }
#   } else if (current_toolchain == default_toolchain) {
#     binary_symlink("foo") {
#       binary_label = ":foo($host_toolchain)"
