Summary:                    Compiling ash.c with DEBUG defined generates link
error
Description: 
ash.c has an accomodation to allow a debug output so that issues can be
investigated.  I'm experiencing some frustration with this build - a
single carraige return line feed sent via any telnet session (either
microsoft's telnet terminal or via putty) results in what appears to be an
extra return or linefeed or both.  To login, sending a keyboard-generated
chr 010 works, but this is not a reasonable solution.

Therefore I want to debug ash to see what's happening.

ash.c allows you to define DEBUG=1 (or DEBUG=2) at the top of the source
(or via the makefile).  This then establishes the code necessary to
provide a debug output.

ash.c contians the following:

#ifdef DEBUG
const char *bb_applet_name = "debug stuff usage";
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	return ash_main(argc, argv);
}
#endif

So with DEBUG defined, the following error is generated during compile:


/home/dev/axis/devboard_82/apps/busybox/shell/ash.c:64:1: warning:
"_GNU_SOURCE" redefined
/home/dev/axis/devboard_82/apps/busybox/shell/ash.c:1:1: warning: this is
the location of the previous definition
/home/dev/axis/devboard_82/apps/busybox/shell/ash.c:11263: warning:
`showtree' defined but not used
/home/dev/axis/devboard_82/apps/busybox/shell/ash.c:11469: warning:
`trputc' defined but not used


And this is the error during the link phase:

busybox/shell/shell.a(ash.o): warning: definition of `bb_applet_name'
overriding common
busybox/applets/applets.a(busybox.o): warning: common is here
busybox/shell/shell.a(ash.o): In function `main':

DEBUG ash compiled snadalone only as

$ cd shell
$ cc -DDEBUG -I../include ash.c cmdedit.o ../libbb/libbb.a

Its works
