I think unless your drive mounting and init binaries are statically
linked you're going to hit trouble at boot time.
However have you sifted through /lib to find out if you have an libraries
with debugging codes left in or binaries that have been upgraded and/or
ones you can recompile to put in /usr/lib ?
