    • cortex-m-rt https://github.com/rust-embedded/cortex-m-rt/pull/337 merged, maybe new release soon?
    • should we reconsider cortex-m-rt writing to SP and VTOR at boot?
      • it shouldn't be necessary except to work around broken bootloaders, debuggers, etc
      • it doesn't add much overhead
      • it turns out it's permissible to write to a non-existent VTOR on ARMv6
      • with global_asm, we could easily feature-gate to make this an optional quirks-mode thing, but without it we'd need to ship many more precompiled blobs
