Summary:                    Compile all sources at once results in segfaulting
busybox
Description: 
At least on my debian mixed stable/testing/couple of unstable packages
system, using the 'compile all sources at once' option looks like it
builds successfully, but ./busybox sh results in a segfault.  The config
which works with the 'compile all sources at once', but fails when
'compile all sources at once' is enabled, is attached, along with my list
of installed packages so you can see what library versions I am using.  I
am using glibc, not uClibc.  If I can can provide any more information
that would help, I am happy to do so.

I cannot find the package for i386 which contains i586-linux-gcc.

Where does that compiler come from?
What's the i586-linux-gcc -v ?

I cannot reproduce this miscompilation with the compilers available via
testing on i386..

Looks like it's getting the bb_strlen wrong (again).

For me, if i run ash then it just sits there and does nothing. Is this the
issue you were seeing?

Can you please apply the attached busybox.fix_bb_strlen.00.diff and make
clean && make and retest and let me know if that does fix it for you?

TIA

Oh, it's a symlink to gcc-3.3, and I made /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-linux a
symlink to i486-linux.  The other binary symlinks are:

cpp, ar, ld, and strip (i586-linux-cpp to cpp-3.3, and the rest to the
non-versioned binaries of the same name (e.g. i586-linux-ar to ar).

I was getting segfaults rather than just sitting (that is busbox died with
a segfault), however the patch fixed it.

Thanks!
