+# Remarks on perma unstable features
+
+## `rustc_private`
+
+### Overview
+
+The `rustc_private` feature allows external crates to use compiler internals.
+
+### Using `rustc-private` with Official Toolchains
+
+When using the `rustc_private` feature with official Rust toolchains distributed via rustup, you need to install two additional components:
+
+1. **`rustc-dev`**: Provides compiler libraries
+2. **`llvm-tools`**: Provides LLVM libraries required for linking
+
+#### Installation Steps
+
+Install both components using rustup:
+
+```bash
+rustup component add rustc-dev llvm-tools
+```
+
+#### Common Error
+
+Without the `llvm-tools` component, you'll encounter linking errors like:
+
+```
+error: linking with `cc` failed: exit status: 1
+  |
+  = note: rust-lld: error: unable to find library -lLLVM-{version}
+```
+
+### Using `rustc-private` with Custom Toolchains
+
+For custom-built toolchains or environments not using rustup, additional configuration is typically required:
+
+#### Requirements
+
+- LLVM libraries must be available in your system's library search paths
+- The LLVM version must match the one used to build your Rust toolchain
+
+#### Troubleshooting Steps
+
+1. **Check LLVM installation**: Verify LLVM is installed and accessible
+2. **Configure library paths**: You may need to set environment variables:
+   ```bash
+   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/llvm/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+   ```
+3. **Check version compatibility**: Ensure your LLVM version is compatible with your Rust toolchain
+
