I've been thinking about this, but it is probably a bit too sensitive
when applied to the complete buildworld target. I do follow this
approach for installworld, so that we don't run anything we overwrite
during installation. For installworld I need to copy 2 dozen binaries.
This number is probably larger when used for a complete buildworld.
