https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1ca100d0428985f916eea... is the "runtime". sys::thread contains all the TLS stuff (C has TLS too, so it's unclear if this is any more of a runtime). catch_unwind is for toplevel panic handling (which can be nop'd with panic=abort).

Finally, we link to jemalloc, which is an additional bit of runtime of its own (which can be turned off with alloc_system)

Ah right, it's in src\libstd\rt.rs, not src\rt, ha!

It used to be!

There's also compiler-rt which does some of the eh stuff for panics and whatnot.
