It is important to remember that it is impossible to build
default druntime just for some (hardware) architecture.
druntime needs architecture + "OS", because it is need to call
something for memory allocations (malloc) and for other stuff
like this. This "OS" can be reduced to few your own functions or
maybe to TockOS calls or to baremetal libc implementation.
(Current druntime slightly uses libc calls. This is not as bad as
it might seem, this is not touches "purity" of the language. In
fact, libc isn't only C library, but de-facto standard for access
to OSes functions.)
