- <userinput>mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3:</userinput> Glibc needs a
- null device to compile properly. All other devices will be created in the
- next section.

- <userinput>touch /etc/ld.so.conf</userinput> One of the final steps of
- the Glibc installation is running ldconfig to update the dynamic loader
- cache. If this file isn't present Glibc will abort with an error that it
- can't read the file. So we create an empty file for it (empty file will
- have Glibc default to using /lib and /usr/lib which is fine right now).

- <userinput>--enable-add-ons:</userinput> This enables the add-on that
