My crosscompiler works not quite good with busybox 1.00 pre10. 
I can´t use some selections from menuconfig (See my mail dated 
4.5.2004, subject "compilation errors"). I use mips-uclibc-gcc
and compile for R3000 CPU (Philips NINO). Compiling with standard 
gcc (which comes with RedHat distribution) works fine for all 
selections. BTW, the compilation crash with "login" and "sulogin" 
selections turned on too, and with same error message as with 
"passwd" option:
... undefined reference to 'difftime'
This makes me sad, cos there is no way to use embeded security
commands into Busybox, and using login and passwd "outside" eats
too much space ...
Is there someone who can help me with this ?
Thanx.
