How would I do this, from a RAMdisk BL?  I might want to leave 2.2.5 on 
there and also 2.3.5.  Most program seem to need libc and libm and 
ld-linux (but this is static).  Do I symlink the first two from a RAMdisk 
linux or while running the actual BL with all the glibcs in it?

Since I hardly ever use Abiword I could leave it in the loop version
with libc5 - can I simply chroot to it (chroot /bin/sh --login) and mount 
/proc ?

I could run libc5 netpbm (most of the programs) with just the above 
libraries and I think ld-linux 1.
