My experience with vendor toolchains is that they generally suck anyway. In a recent bare metal project I chose not to use the vendor's IDE and toolchain (which is just an old version of GCC with some questionable cmake scripts around it) and instead just cross compile with rust manually. And so far its been a really good decision.

Yep, this aligns with my experience. I’ve yet to take the plunge into cross compiling with rust though, might have to try that.
