Looks good to me.  Only one comment (library space and efficiency):
include/libc/stubs.h is used to create "aliases" similar to this 
that we use for namespace fixes.  Should we also use this to create
simple jump stubs like this one?  

added to include/libc/stubs.h:

#define _Exit _exit

It would be a new use (abuse?) of libc/stubs.h

It does make finding the "source" harder, but it makes smaller libraries 
and executables, and we don't need a source module for "_Exit" - it's 
automatically written.  And no need to modify a makefile either.
