+// targets:
+//
+// - `TargetOptions.features`: added `+strict-align`. rationale: unaligned
+// memory access is disabled on boot on these cores
+// - linker changed to LLD. rationale: C is not strictly needed to build
+// bare-metal binaries (the `gcc` linker has the advantage that it knows where C
+// libraries and crt*.o are but it's not much of an advantage here); LLD is also
+// faster
+// - `target_os` set to `none`. rationale: matches `thumb` targets
+// - `target_{env,vendor}` set to an empty string. rationale: matches `thumb`
+// targets
+// - `panic_strategy` set to `abort`. rationale: matches `thumb` targets
+// - `relocation-model` set to `static`; also no PIE, no relro and no dynamic
+// linking. rationale: matches `thumb` targets
