I'm confused: how on your system does a given executable know when to 
use /export/fs/lib and when to use /lib?  (What do you mean by "lib is under 
the /export/fs"?  Presumably there's a lib directory in there, one that's 
used for...?)

Do you mean init continues to run after the mount, but it was execed before 
the mount?

You just said that when you built busybox with shared libraries, you can 
always run /sbin/init.  You you're giving circumstances under which you 
can't?  I'm guessing that by "restart the target" you mean reexec init after 
the mount?  (Or else the version on the target is now statically linked, and 
that's what's different?)

I'm still trying to understand how your system is set up and what you're doing 
with it...
