-# * First, the Rust standard library needs to be compiled. The default version
-#   is not compatible with atomics so we need to compile a version, with xargo,
-#   that is compatible.
+# * First, the Rust standard library needs to be recompiled with atomics

-# * Next we need to compile everything with the `atomics` feature enabled,
