 The compiler currently makes a few assumptions about symbols which are
 available in the executable to call. Normally these functions are provided by
 the standard library, but without it you must define your own. These symbols
 are called "language items", and they each have an internal name, and then a
 signature that an implementation must conform to.

+The second function, `rust_begin_panic`, is also used by the failure mechanisms of the
 compiler. When a panic happens, this controls the message that's displayed on
 the screen. While the language item's name is `panic_fmt`, the symbol name is
 `rust_begin_panic`.

+A third function, `rust_eh_unwind_resume`, is also needed if the `custom_unwind_resume`
+flag is set in the options of the compilation target. It allows customizing the
+process of resuming unwind at the end of the landing pads. The language item's name
