<blockquote type="cite" style="color: #000000;">* The ARM backend
supports two new relocation models, read-only position
<br>
independence (ROPI) and read-write position independence (RWPI).
In ROPI, code
<br>
and read-only data sections are accessed PC-relative. In RWPI,
read-write data
<br>
is accessed relative to r9. These can be used individually or
together and are
<br>
designed to avoid the need for a dynamic linker on small
systems.

This is awesome! Thanks, Oliver, for pushing this through. Those
of us building embedded systems in Rust have been hoping for this
to make it into LLVM.
