Separate root and usr would be good, thanks. Hopefully it shouldn't be
too much effort to get rtld-elf working for alpha later.

I don't think I need this just yet. I hope to get my own kernel running
on a real machine real soon now.

Thats odd. I don't have any trouble building it on my Miata under Linux
but I do have a bit more memory (128M). SimOS needs a severe hacking
before it works at all (I have patches if you are interested) and it might
thrash your machine a bit since it gives 64M of memory to the virtual
machine.
