It's being generated by a cpio.txt file (it's being bundle into Linux
kernel to be used as initramfs). You can check it at
https://github.com/NodeOS/NodeOS/pull/89/files#diff-2

Does this to be mandatory? As you can see, I'm using a 0555 permission
on libc.so (because it's an executable) and 0444 for the other libs,
and 0111 for the directories. This is on purposse, both for security
and to keep users eyes out of ugly things and internal implementation
details (they should only worry about Node.js APIs).

Anyway, this gave me and idea and reviewing the cpio.txt file I've
found this line:

#dir /lib 0111 0 0

I uncommented it and the Hello World init has written to the console,
so I've just recompile using Node.js as /init, and...

/me head banging in the wall X-D I'll do some more tests, but seems
that was the issue X-D If so, probably it's a bug on the Linux kernel
initramfs builder (gen_init_cpio), because the .cpio.gz file is being
correctly generated and include the libraries without raising an
error... :-/

Thank you! ^^
