So you can still run /foo without rtld being present if foo doesn't need 
dlopen, etc.?  It looks like you link the crunch with -o dynamic, so isn't 
the kernel going to complain when you try to exec it that it can't find rtld 
if rtld is missing?  (Think about /rescue if your rtld is hosed and/or 
missing.)
