 The building std part is pretty much the same as the official [docs](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html).
 The linker that should be used is `rust-lld`. Here is a sample `config.toml`:
 ```toml
-[llvm]
-download-ci-llvm = false
 [rust]
 lld = true
-[target.x86_64-unknown-uefi]
-linker = "rust-lld"
 ```
 Then just build using `x.py`:
 ```sh
-./x.py build --target x86_64-unknown-uefi
+./x.py build --target x86_64-unknown-uefi --stage 1
+```
+Alternatively, it is possible to use the `build-std` feature. However, you must use a toolchain which has the UEFI std patches.
+Then just build the project using the following command:
+```sh
+cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-uefi -Zbuild-std=std,panic_abort
 ```
