You would make it a whole lot easier for yourself if you just used the 
Embedded target and added an actual controller type for that specific 
microcontroller. Then you wouldn't need to play around with linker 
scripts and manually including and trimming RTL files.

Adding the controller type is about 5-10 lines of code. Then the RTL 
unit can be a stub for now which basically just initializes .data and .bss.

If you have the name of the controller I can add it?
