initrd instead of a mix of dietlibc, klibc and static-glibc based
binaries. This works by copying what we need from Glibc into the
initrd and using patchelf to set the ELF interpreter and RPATH
correctly. The resulting initrd is about 500 KB smaller, but more
importantly, it's much easier to maintain - all those
dietlibc/klibc/static-glibc builds frequently cause build problems.

This makes the initrd a few megabytes smaller.

appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs). This allows you
to run Nix operations on the Live CD. However, we're not quite
there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database. So for
instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
hanging the system.
