    init: build dynamically
    
    This makes it easier to downgrade kernel when it stops providing some
    syscall required by libc.  In this case, it is enough to downgrade libc
    as well, our crt1 delegates all non-trivial work to
    libc::__libc_start1().  With static init, the /sbin/init should be
    downgraded as well, which might be not easy.
    
    This does not mean that we support forward compatibility.
