Description

Code

I tried this code:

$ git clone https://github.com/ferrous-systems/rust-exercises.git
$ cd rust-exercises
$ git checkout v1.17.0
$ cd nrf52_code/radio_app
$ rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf --toolchain=nightly
$ cargo install flip-link (or change `.cargo/config.toml` to not use flip-link - either is fine)
$ cargo +nightly build

I expected to see this happen:

The binaries build like, they do on stable.

Instead, this happened:

That symbol is defined here: https://github.com/knurling-rs/defmt/blob/b7a89f56059fc66ac3c7cc3445d092829599e699/defmt/src/lib.rs#L365
