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).

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.

MontaukOS binaries could not use thread-local storage: the ELF loader
ignored PT_TLS and no FS base was ever programmed, so any %fs access
(initial-exec/local-exec TLS, e.g. libbfd's _Thread_local error state)
page faulted at address 0. This is the kernel prerequisite for
cc1plus/libstdc++ in the GCC port.
ELF loader: parse PT_TLS and build the main thread's TLS block above
the loaded image (x86-64 variant II ABI: block below the thread
pointer, TP = base + align_up(memsz, align), .tdata copied from the
template, .tbss zeroed, ABI self-pointer stored at [TP]). The
template description is kept on the process for thread spawns.
Scheduler: fsBase per thread, loaded into IA32_FS_BASE at every
dispatch site through a per-CPU cache - TLS-free processes cost one
MSR write per CPU ever, and userspace cannot desync the cache since
CR4.FSGSBASE stays off. SYS_THREAD_SPAWN gives each new thread its
own TLS block copied from the template (allocated from the process
heap; reclaimed at process teardown).
Ships tls-test.elf in the SDK (built by the devkit target): checks
.tdata values, .tbss zeroing, and the %fs:0 self-pointer, exiting
nonzero on failure. Boot-smoke verified; existing TLS-free programs
are unaffected.

Add build-montauk-toolchain.sh: builds an OS-aware cross GCC/binutils
(same versions and prefix as the bare-metal x86_64-elf toolchain) whose
x86_64-montauk target links static ET_EXEC binaries against the Montauk
libc sysroot with no special flags: 4 KiB max page size for the kernel
ELF loader, -mno-red-zone by default, crt1/crti/crtn + -lc from the
sysroot, __montauk__ defined. Target patches are checked into
toolchain/patches/, the GCC target header into toolchain/files/.
sys/types.h now includes <stdint.h> so hosted code (libgcov and
friends) sees intptr_t via the stdio include chain.
