I did the rtld internally for 6.4 almost the same way, i.e, have a static root and get a simple program going, in my case it was on the lines of 'printf("%p\n", printf);'. Another useful thing is to have is a hacked version of printf which does not the libc but does the write syscall in assembly directly, this was useful to print out debug stuff from rtld code.
