Or, enable CRTSCTS, if available:

Now, this is only _one_ of the numerous debian busybox patches.  This
tar-ball:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/busybox/busybox_1.17.1-6.debian.tar.gz

(part of debian/patches/series) shows:

---8<---
doc-man-name.patch
shell-ash-export-HOME.patch
applets-fallback.patch
version.patch
init-console.patch
strip.patch
make_gen_build_files_skip_quilt.patch

# The following patches have been merged upstream and will be in version 1.18
[...]

# The following patches will likely be merged soon
u-mount-FreeBSD-support.patch
swaponoff-FreeBSD-support.patch

# not sent upstream
init-console-CRTSCTS.patch
--->8---

I didn't check, but from what I gather _not all_ those patches are applied
upstream.  Would be interesting to know which one(s) are
acceptable/arguable/inacceptable.


Cheers,
