Two ramdisk fixes exposed by shipping the C++ header tree:
Paths longer than 100 characters (libstdc++'s pb_ds detail headers)
are split by USTAR across the name field and the 155-byte prefix
field at offset 345. The parser only read the name field, so the
tails of 7 deep header paths appeared as bogus root-level entries
while the real paths were missing. The parser now joins
prefix + '/' + name, and MaxNameLen grows to 260 to hold the full
combined path.
SYS_CHDIR validated non-root targets by opening them as files, which
only ever worked because directories used to be openable. It now uses
the ReadDir probe, which fails for nonexistent paths and regular
files on all backends (ext2/fat32 already validate the inode type).

Groundwork for the GCC driver: a compiler driver must spawn cc1/as/ld
and know whether each stage succeeded.
Kernel: the scheduler keeps an exit-code ledger (pid -> code; pids are
monotonic so entries never alias), published during teardown right
before waiters wake. SYS_EXIT records main()'s return value, SYS_KILL
records 256+SIGKILL, and the exception handler records 256+signal
mapped from the fault vector (#PF/#GP -> SIGSEGV, #DE/FP -> SIGFPE,
#UD -> SIGILL). SYS_WAITPID now returns the code: 0..255 for a normal
exit, 256+signal for a violent death. Process args grow from 256
bytes to 4 KiB (cc1 invocations do not fit in 256), with crt1 now
parsing up to 255 argv entries from a static buffer.
libc: new spawn.h with posix_spawn/posix_spawnp over SYS_SPAWN -
libiberty's pex layer has a posix_spawn backend, so GCC's driver works
without fork. argv is joined into the kernel args string (spaces in
arguments rejected; no kernel quoting), envp is not transferred, and
non-empty file actions fail loudly with ENOTSUP until the kernel can
redirect stdio on spawn. waitpid() now decodes real POSIX status and
the sys/wait.h macros distinguish exited from signaled children.
Shell: prints [exit code N] after nonzero exits and [terminated by
signal N] for killed or crashed children.
Verified on the OS: cat on a missing file reports exit code 1; a
window-close (clean exit 0) stays silent as it should.
