[BusyBox] linuxrc

[Royce Kemp]

Thanks Wolfgang. I have confirmed you ARE CORRECT.

My ld-linux.so did not have the appropriate permissions which was 
preventing "/linuxrc" from executing. This was not discovered though until 
I made busybox static and then "init" politely informed me that 
"/sbin/getty" could not start with error:"Permission Denied". I found the 
problem as I said with the ld-lniux.so permissions but I never carried that 
back to why "/linuxrc" wouldn't run. So thanks for clarifying.
