Currently exec-target.c is linked statically with libc, which on Fedora
at least requires installing an additional package (glibc-static).
If that package is not installed the build fails with:
CC exec_target
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
All exec_target.c does is call sys_exit, which can be done easily enough
using inline assembly, and removes the requirement for a static libc to
be installed.

The exec_target binary could segfault calling _exit(2) because r13
is not set up properly (and libc looks at that when performing a
syscall). Call SYS_exit using syscall(2) which doesn't seem to
have this problem.
