I don't much like it -- disabling FineIBT at config time like this also
kills the CFI type rehash. Not to mention that FineIBT is a Spectre-BHI
mitigation, esp. with that arity thing on top.

I don't suppose we can simply mandate this rust version?

Speaking of which, I should go install this latest rust thing....
