# Actually Portable Executables with Cosmopolitan Libc and Rust
This repository contains a simple `Hello world!` example in the [Rust][rust]

you need a recent version of `gcc` (9 or 10 ought to be good), a recent version
of `binutils` (`ld.bfd` and `objcopy`), and `bash` because I wrote a simple
filter script.
I created a [custom compilation target][custom-target] for Rust, called
`x86_64-unknown-linux-cosmo`, to provide a build process that uses the

4. run `objcopy` on the debug binary to obtain the APE:

# objcopy is the same version as ld.bfd above
