Very cool.  And just to add to the confusion, I'm busy posting an
update to the dev root_fs for x86, powerpc, and arm with the C++
symlink fixed, I've added GNU tar and GNU grep, I've fixed the
broken euid syscalls (per the example posted the other day to the
list) and made a few other minor changes (mainly powerpc syscall
fixups).  There are no binary incompatibilites or anything in
this, so you should be able to continue using anything you have
already compiled...

I wonder why X wanted to use /lib/cpp -- binary arn't supposed to
live under /lib.  That just seems really wrong to me.  But since
that seems to be the thing to do (the Debian cpp package supplies
such a symlink) I guess I'll go ahead and add that link as well.
Grumble.  Ok, it is now included in the root_fs dev images I posted
this morning,
