You'll need to include the OSKit's dynamic loader, rtld. I'm not sure
if it will work with Kaffe, though. Leigh might know if there's any
inherent reason it won't work.

I don't think that would work (even without the OSKit), as I think
--with-staticlib drops all the dynamic loading abilities of Kaffe.
Again, I'm not sure about this, so it might work. Probably easy to
test on regular Kaffe....
We statically link in our extensions to Kaffe when building on the
OSKit. Its a bit awkward to get the image built, but it works (and we
hide all the goo in a makefile).

This depends on the particulars of the rtld library, look at its
documentation for where it looks for libraries at run-time.
