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.

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.
