This suggestion was gold for me, but in a different way.  I have for 
years lamented the passing of static binaries in /bin and /sbin.

I forget who mentioned that /rescue/*  are statically linked - I had 
never known that.
Today I have just built a 5.4-RELEASE jail on a 9.1-STABLE system, and 
being able to include a statically linked 9.1-STABLE 'ps' is very useful.
The 5.4 version of ps is useless in this jail.

And just in case the significance is lost on Bernt, /rescue/sh does not 
rely on libc, so it won't care if libc is broken.
