Well, -lcrt doesn't appear explicitly in the command-line for either
exec.static or ext2fs.static.  The builds actually succeed if I add
either -lc or -lcrt (or their full paths) before or after -lpthread,
e.g. by `echo exec.static: -lc >> exec/Makefile`, so I'm not sure what
is going on yet.

Thanks.
