no code (no .text segment) when forgetting "-C", "link-arg=-Tlink.x" but no warning/error either

Hi,

I realize this is not really a bug, I just hoped to get some feedback about where you think this should be reported. The issue is that if you take this template and remove the "-C", "link-arg=-Tlink.x" line from .cargo/config (for instance, by reading this as a reference and copying bits into another project) then everything compiles just fine but the resulting binary is useless.

Here is the output of arm-none-eabi-objdump -h (I called the project devicers):

target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/devicers2:     file format elf32-littlearm

I'm just trying to get some feedback here if this sounds to anybody like an issue worthy of fixing, the issue being that there was no complaint at any point suggesting anything was wrong, only by trying to execute the resulting binary (in my case trying to run it with the cargo-call-stack tool) do you get an error.

Thanks,
Alon

Reproduce the issue by removing the "-C" and "link-arg=-Tlink.x" lines from .cargo/config, then inspect the resulting binary with arm-none-eabi-objdump -h. Compare the build and linker behavior with and without those settings, and determine what diagnostic or validation would clearly identify the unusable output.
