[BusyBox] est 8260

[Williams, Kevin M.]

I have built busybox-60.1 statically against glibc and uClibc (tar snapshot
from this morning) for an MPC8xx.  Using msh and glibc worked, and
ash/lash/msh with uClibc gives me the same recurring prompt you described
below.

FWIW, I had to copy over some header files and make some other minor changes
to get uClibc to build.  A patch of what I did is here:

ftp://nevus.org/pub/uClibc.for.powerpc.patch

Use at your own risk...I did manage to successfully build some command line
utilities against uClibc and they seem to run fine.

Hmmm... bad idea.  I just updated all the powerpc headers files in
uClibc, which changed its status from "doesn't compile" to "untested".
Best tested would be a snapshot from before the overall header file
update -- 1-2 weeks (?) ago.  (maybe)

OTOH, please test the current uClibc.
