[BusyBox] amd64 insmod again

[Gareth Glaccum]

I compiled the insmod.static from source code for modutils I believe.
However, if you have a fedore installation around somewhere, or the
modutils-2.4.26-16 rpm (a 2.6 kernel version) this contains an
insmod.static that is 152K, ldd says it is static.

Size is nott that big an issue

Which one? I saw no such thing in Fedora and in Debian/stable . Both use
a separate insmod binary in the initrd . Fedora seems to use
/sbin/insmod.static, whereas Fedora seems to use the standard
/sbin/insmod
