When were you doing this? There's now a large chunk of the standard library[1] that's explicitly designed to be used in bare-metal/zero-dependency situations, and it even includes "fancy" things like the formatting infrastructure[2] (it has to be hooked up to a writable/IO device, but that's just a trait implementation away) and string processing, certainly more than the zero-allocation subset of libc.

It has been at least 6 months and it's possible I just missed this! That's quite cool. Thanks! I will give this a try.
