Since rust-lang/rust#95503, `library/std` means "build just std and its dependencies"; to get the old behavior that built `proc_macro` and `test`, you need `x build library`. - Update `library/std` to `library` - Remove the `-i` suggestions; `incremental = true` is already the default for most profiles, in which case `-i` does nothing. If you don't have incremental enabled, I still think suggesting `-i` is bad idea, because it's easy to forget once, at which point you'll end up rebuilding the whole compiler / standard library. - Remove a few repetitive sections and don't discuss incremental in such detail Incremental works well enough that it should "just work" for most people; I don't think it needs multiple paragraphs of explanation so early in the guide. - Clarify that `test library/std` *only* tests libstd in a few places
