I have some test stuff I use when bringing up new arches with
uClibc that can tell you if you are getting into user space
correctly. But before messing with shared libraries, I _highly_
recommend you start with a simple staticly linked "hello world"
app for /sbin/init. Only when that is working properly should
you begin messing with shared libs.
