I agree, here's how you start. After kernel initializes everything it
executes init, so what libraries does init require?

holla at gibson[502]: ldd /sbin/init
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001a000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Well that is if you're running init and want libc. ldd bash, sash,
ash, busybox whatever.
