} I'm sorry, this is easy to fix... have a set of tools you copy to /ibin

... but as soon as you run the stuff in /ibin to install the new userland,
you won't even be able to run a shell script, because the newly installed
/bin/sh will be using the new signal syscalls. The install process will
have to include installing a new kernel and will have to be followed by
an immediate reboot.
