- Use compiler-rt and picolibc instead of avr-libc.
- Use ld.lld instead of avr-ld (or avr-gcc).
This makes it much easier to get started with TinyGo on AVR because
installing these extra tools (gcc-avr, avr-libc) can be a hassle.
It also opens the door for future improvements such as ThinLTO.
There is a code size increase but I think it's worth it in the long run.
The code size increase can hopefully be reduced with improvements to the
LLVM AVR backend and to compiler-rt.
This is for consistency with Clang, which always adds a CPU flag even if
it's not specified in CFLAGS.
This commit also adds some tests to make sure the Clang target-cpu
matches the CPU property in the JSON files.
This does have an effect on the generated binaries. The effect is very
small though: on average just 0.2% increase in binary size, apparently
because Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 are compiled a bit differently. However,
when rebased on top of https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2218
(minsize), the difference drops to -0.1% (a slight decrease on average).
The -Qunused-arguments flag disables the warning where some flags are
not relevant to a compilation. This commonly happens when compiling
assembly files (.s or .S files) because some flags are specific to C and
not relevant to assembly.
Because practically all baremetal targets need some form of assembly,
this flag is added to most CFlags. This creates a lot of noise. And it
is also added for compiling C code where it might hide bugs (by hiding
the fact a flag is actually unused).
This commit adds the flag to all assembly compilations and removes them
from all target JSON files.
