to be clear, i wasn't suggesting adding either of these solutions
to busybox -- i was only replying to the question asked, trying
to suggest hex editing solutions that might work.  i took "works
with busybox" to mean "can be loaded on a system using busybox
and probably not require more libraries than are already there".
