As I've written before[1], more than a year ago Rust on AVR went into the weeds because of bugs in LLVM.

I made a workaround[2], but it was far from ideal - and if it's been frustrating for me, I'm sure it's been a complete barrier to many even getting started with AVR on Rust.

Anyway, all that has now changed, thanks to Patryk27[3], who has managed to merge the necessary patches into the Rust master, so now the regular Rust `nightly` toolchain builds for AVR again. Hurrah, and the inaugural (and possibly ultimate) 'Hero of the Week' award goes to Patryk :-).
