The big problem from my point of view is the linking, both normal
and with shared libraries.
Shared libraries in a SASOS get very ugly. If the OS is a strict
SASOS, then the data segment also must be shared (and we all know
the problems with this). Have you seen any solutions for this
problem in a strict-SASOS ?
Also implementing the fork(2) system call can be a heavy task,
but there's "ways" around this (by just implementing the popen
routine).
