Hi Will,

Just to keep you in the loop, I've posted a PR to make rustc recognize
the reserve-x18 target feature, so that the -Ctarget-feature=+reserve-x18
flag stops emitting a warning.

This should be sufficient for adding support for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SCS.

You can find it here:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124323

As for non-dynamic SCS, I plan to tackle that after the PR is merged.
See the "Future possibilities" section in the linked PR for more info on
that.

Alice
