Finally, we have been finding an increasing number of stabilization
requests at the compiler level, and so @wesleywiser and @davidtwco
from the compiler team have started attending meetings to create a
faster response. One of the results of that collaboration is https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3716
,
authored by Alice Ryhl, which proposes a method to manage compiler
flags that modify the target ABI. Our previous approach has been to
create distinct targets for each combination of flags, but the number
of flags needed by the kernel make that impractical. Authoring the RFC
revealed more such flags than previously recognized, including those
that modify LLVM behavior.
