How to exclude a particular crate-type from build?

My Rust project depends on crate reqwest which depends on hyper.

When I build my project for Android platform

cargo.exe build --target aarch64-linux-android

cargo cannot find cc.

   Compiling hyper v0.14.4
error: linker `cc` not found

= note: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)

error: aborting due to previous error

error: could not compile `hyper`.

If I remove the following lines from hyper's Cargo.toml

[lib]
crate-type = ["lib", "staticlib", "cdylib"]

then I can build my project without problems.

How can I build my project without modifying hyper's Cargo.toml? How exclude its staticlib and cdylib crate types from the build?

SOLUTION / WORKAROUND

I found a solution/workaround for my issue. I've added to .cargo/config:

[target.aarch64-linux-android]
linker = 'aarch64-linux-android28-clang.cmd'

Now hyper is compiled as lib, staticlib and cdylib. And by the way, it was the cdylib crate type who wanted cc.
