Yes, I agree that's better. I think we can use getpgid. I'll try to
whip something today and send it out.

I also wanted to fix something else, HOSTCC is set to gcc, but I want
the boostrap part of the sample to run an ARM so I have to make HOSTCC
my cross-compiler. Right now I'm hacking it to point to the arm64 gcc
however I think I'd like to add a 'cross compile mode' or something
whether HOSTCC points to CROSS_COMPILE instead. I'm happy to discuss
any ideas to get this fixed too.

thanks!
