stat() synthesized path-hash inodes for regular files but left
st_ino = 0 for directories. GCC's include-path setup deduplicates
directories by (st_dev, st_ino), so every directory on MontaukOS
compared equal and cc1plus silently dropped all C++ include dirs
except the first - <iostream> resolved but the target-specific
bits/c++config.h directory was gone. Directories now get the same
path-hash inodes as files. (Different spellings of one directory
hash differently; the harmless direction - a dir may be searched
twice, never dropped.)
Native GCC relinked against the fixed libc.

The GCC driver relocates its install prefix from argv[0]. crt1
hardcoded argv[0] as "prog", so make_relative_prefix cwd-joined it
and computed exec prefixes relative to the current directory
(0:/users/admin/../libexec/gcc/...), and because the computed
gcc_exec_prefix is non-NULL the standard /sdk prefixes were never
searched. cc1plus was unreachable from anywhere except (by accident
of the path arithmetic) 0:/sdk/bin. sdk-diag proved the kernel and
libc layers all worked; only the driver's self-relocation was lost.
New SYS_GETEXECPATH (151) returns the absolute path the process was
spawned from (Process::name); crt1 uses it for argv[0] with a "prog"
fallback. With a real argv[0], make_relative_prefix computes
0:/sdk/bin/../libexec/gcc/ from any cwd. Native GCC relinked against
the new crt1; sdk-diag ships in the SDK as a permanent probe; the
montauk.h TCC mirror gains the wrapper (checker enforced it).

Cross-build GCC 14.2.0 with --host=x86_64-montauk: the driver, cc1,
cc1plus and collect2 now link as static Montauk ET_EXEC binaries
against the hosted libstdc++, and ship in the SDK. Together with the
native binutils, TCC and the target sysroot, MontaukOS carries a
complete self-contained C and C++ toolchain at 0:/sdk.
libc: anonymous mmap/munmap over SYS_ALLOC (GCC's page allocator
wants mmap; SYS_ALLOC memory is page-aligned by construction),
getpagesize, minimal sysconf, MB_CUR_MAX, isascii/toascii, POSIX id
typedefs (ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t, ...), struct stat fields switched to
proper POSIX types (st_size is a signed off_t now), and a
conventional _STDIO_H guard marker so GMP's FILE detection works.
Build recipe and the five host-build gotchas (bundled config.subs,
gettext removal, stdio guard sniffing, endianness cache preset,
sysroot sdk symlink) are documented in toolchain/README.md. The
devkit stages the driver as gcc.elf/g++.elf/cpp.elf, the backends in
the libexec layout the driver expects, a copy of ld where collect2
searches, and a 0:/tmp scratch dir. Ramdisk: 1604 files, 368 MB.

The cross toolchain now builds real hosted C++: std::string, vector,
unique_ptr, iostreams and exceptions all work in a plain
x86_64-montauk-g++ invocation with no special flags. This is the
library that native cc1plus will link against for the GCC self-host.
crt1 now runs .preinit_array/.init_array before main and hooks
.fini_array through atexit (main returns via exit(), so destructors
run on both exit paths). Global constructors and libgcc's eh_frame
registration both ride this. GCC is reconfigured with
--enable-initfini-array (modern arrays instead of .ctors),
--with-newlib (satisfies libstdc++'s crossconfig for unknown hosts),
--disable-wchar_t and --disable-libstdcxx-pch; the montauk gcc patch
grows a hunk keeping os/generic ctype under --with-newlib (the
Montauk libc is not newlib).
libc additions harvested by the libstdc++ build: mbtowc/wctomb,
strxfrm, strtok/strtok_r, a real vfscanf/fscanf/scanf (character-
driven with widths and l/ll; also unblocks gprof later), fgetpos/
fsetpos/setbuf/fpos_t, modf plus the C99 float math variants
(acosf..tanhf, hypot/hypotf as wrappers), FP_* classification macros,
the full POSIX errno vocabulary, complete DT_* dirent types, and
mbstate_t.
The SDK ships the real libstdc++.a (was an empty stand-in), the C++
headers at 0:/sdk/include/c++, and cxx-test.elf (global ctor, string,
vector+sort, unique_ptr, throw/catch; exits 0 on 5/5). Ramdisk sits
at 1571 files, within the 2048 table.

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.

0:/usr was a Unix transplant in an otherwise Montauk-native layout.
The SDK now lives at 0:/sdk/{bin,include,lib} (+ ldscripts under
0:/sdk/x86_64-montauk): Montauk-flavored, and a clean unit for a
future per-component installer tickbox. Native binutils is rebuilt
with --prefix=/sdk so ld's compiled-in search paths follow; future
ports configure with --prefix=/sdk.
Also add pathconf() with _PC_* names to the libc: now that realpath
exists, libiberty's lrealpath.c compiles its pathconf fallback path
unconditionally.
Shell command resolution and tab completion updated to 0:/sdk/bin.
Boot-verified in QEMU: setup, login, desktop on the new image with
zero usr/ remnants in the ramdisk.

Grow the Montauk libc enough to cross-build binutils 2.43.1 with
--host=x86_64-montauk. gas, ld, ar, nm, objcopy, objdump, readelf,
ranlib, strip and friends now link as native ET_EXEC Montauk binaries
(staged stripped in toolchain/native/, not yet shipped in the image).
New libc surface: full Linux errno and signal sets, O_* flags with
real O_EXCL/O_APPEND semantics, unlink/rmdir/dup/dup2/getpid/_exit,
kill (SYS_KILL), fcntl, fileno/fdopen, putc/getchar/rewind,
ctime/asctime, strtoll/strtoull/atoll, bsearch, mkstemp/mktemp,
realpath (lexical, drive-prefix aware), mbstowcs/mblen, chmod/fchmod/
umask/utime no-ops (VFS has no modes or settable times), full struct
stat with fake inodes, sscanf field widths (bounded conversions),
SCN*/PRI* completions, wait/waitpid over SYS_WAITPID, and new headers
sys/wait.h, sys/param.h, utime.h, wchar.h, memory.h.
fork/exec/pipe are declared but fail with ENOSYS: binutils never
spawns, and real process plumbing is the posix_spawn milestone, which
needs kernel support (exit status reporting, fd redirection).
TCC's montauk_compat.h shims (unlink, chmod, execvp, realpath, fdopen,
strtoll, strtoull) are retired in favor of the libc versions.

Switch all program and library Makefiles from host g++ (or the
bare-metal x86_64-elf compiler) to x86_64-montauk-g++/gcc and drop the
flags the target now owns: -nostdinc + kernel freestanding -isystem
paths, -m64/-march, -fno-PIC, -mno-red-zone, -mcmodel=small, -static,
-Wl,-m,elf_x86_64, -z max-page-size, --build-id=none. Deliberate
policy flags stay (-ffreestanding, per-app SSE, -nostdlib + link.ld).
Program builds now require the montauk toolchain and fail with a
pointer to build-montauk-toolchain.sh; lib/ and libs/ keep the host
fallback since the toolchain script bootstraps libc through it.
Userspace is also now pinned to the cross GCC instead of drifting
with the distro compiler.
