+	  Select this if the initial stack frame could be setup in SRAM.
+	  Normally the initial stack frame is set up in DRAM which is often
+	  only available after lowlevel_init. With this option the initial
+	  stack frame and the early C environment is set up before
+	  lowlevel_init. Thus lowlevel_init does not need to be implemented
+	  in assembler.
