Yes I already had that turned off

I just downloaded uC-libc and busybox from the repository, and it is still
inside the _USE_GNU block. I commented out the ifdef and it
compiled... and works!! Thanks a lot ;)

I also had a problem compiling with xargs (BB_XARGS) it fails with:

/usr/src/uC-libc/libc.a(popen.o): In function popen':
popen.o(.text+0x30): undefined reference to vfork'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [busybox] Error 1

I don't need xargs and just turned it off, but I guess you'd like to know
it ;). Thanks again...

Salu2!
