- "`#[no_link]` attribute does not prevent crate linking" [rust#152854](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/152854)
- doesn't seem super urgent, @_**bjorn3** opened #152856 to investigate removing the attribute. Possibly it should go through a T-lang FCP first ([comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/152856#issuecomment-3945510463))

## Performance logs
> [Triage logs for 2026-02-17](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2026/2026-02-17.md)
Several pull requests introduced (usually very small) regressions across the board this week. On the
other hand, [#151380](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/151380) provided a nice performance win in the inference engine.
I would also like to bring attention to [#152375](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/152375),
which improved the parallel frontend. It is not shown in this report, because we don't yet have
many benchmarks for the parallel frontend, but this PR seemingly improved the `check` (wall-time)
performance with multiple frontend threads on several real-world crates by 5-10%!
Triage done by **@kobzol**.

- The largest regressions seem to be caused by [#152327](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/152327).
- That PR fixed some compiler bugs, so the regression on a secondary benchmarks seems justifiable.
- Marked as triaged.
Update mgca to use `type const` syntax instead of the `#[type_const]` attribute.
