So I decided it would be a good idea to build a linux system from scratch
on my spare partition. (Don't ask.) So, in order to build all the basics
of the system (bash, kernel, init, etc.) I need a chroot'ed environment in
which to work. My question is, should it work for me to just install a
statically linked BusyBox and GCC, and then chroot and start building the
basics from there?
