Thanks. Using them I can create the ramdisk image.

FYI, it didn't work out of the box:

First, the two packages didn't install properly. "make install" copied
the exes to /usr/pkg/cross/bin but then aborted with some error
messages I can't remember the exact error, it seemed to have something
to do with the shell.

Second, the final link of ramdiskbin failed with many unresolved
symbols of the type "_crunched_xxx_stub", with xxx like cat, chmod,
... etc.

When I changed the crunchide invocation to remove the leading _ from
the symbol, the symbol is correctly unhidden. So instead of 

        crunchide -k _crunched_cat_stub cat.cro 

I had to use

        crunchide -k crunched_cat_stub cat.cro

I don't really understand why, because the symbol in cat_stub.o _has_
a "_".
