Runs fennel using a Lua compiled with the same options as the
host system, and with packages set up so it can find all the local
Lua packages
To shorten the dev feedback loop further, allows FENNEL_PATH to be set
on the command line so you can point directly it at the Fennel sources
for some library you're working against instead of having to run
nix-build and compile them to Lua
By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k
This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.
this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup
