So add a small library and link with -lstuffandroidforgot. That's
basically how the FSF dealt with all the proprietary Unix library messes.
Come to think of it call the library "integrated build runtime

It's also going to be far more maintainable and generically useful for
porting tools from GNU to 'droid userspace.
