By building it, syntax errors, API mismatches, etc. are detected
earlier, making updating the crate and its dependents less error-prone.

And from (guix)Rust Crates:

     Care should be taken to ensure the correct version of
     dependencies are used; to this end we try to refrain from skipping
     the tests or using ‘#:skip-build?’ when possible. 

Additionally, compiling libraries earlier can save compile time later
(*). Imagine having to rebuild glibc and gtk every time a new graphical
application using gtk is packaged ...

(*) There might currently be technical problems with rust and shared
libraries preventing this from working though.  Or maybe they have been
resolved, I dunno.

Greetings,
Maxime.
