I now have exec server loading and initializing and binding all the
shared libraries, then starting all the way to main (), then
trivfs_startup (), successfully handshaking with ext2fs!

Then something goes wrong; I have not yet investigated, but it's
probably because ext2fs expects to find /hurd/startup next, and I
haven't put that into my ramdisk.

Anyway, I declare this a huge success :) I'll send the glibc fixes
some time soon, and I should keep working on the Hurd patches,
hopefully there isn't too much work left, then we can upstream it, and
then test with something that resembles a more complete Debian
installation.
