Wait a minute. There are some issues.

Busybox doesn't compile with headers from Linux-2.4.0-test1 due to
problems with linux/fs.h (observed on Mandrake 6.0 with pgcc-1.1.3-3mdk
and glibc-2.1.1-9mdk):

gcc -Wall -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-builtin -D_GNU_SOURCE
-DBB_VER='"0.44"' -DBB_BT='"
2000.06.21-20:06+0000"'   -c freeramdisk.c -o freeramdisk.o
In file included from /usr/include/linux/dcache.h:5,
                 from /usr/include/linux/fs.h:19,
                 from freeramdisk.c:26:
/usr/include/linux/mount.h:16: parse error before `kdev_t'
/usr/include/linux/mount.h:16: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or
union
/usr/include/linux/mount.h:21: parse error before `}'
make: *** [freeramdisk.o] Error 1

math was renamed to dc without changing some stuff. The error messages
still refer to math. We need to go through all occurences of "math"

busybox.pod doesn't even mention e.g. insmod
