Hello.

So, I am trying to write my own scripts to build busybox.
You can have a look here:

https://www.dettus.net/detLFS/
or here
http://dettus.net/detLFS/detLFS_0.06.tar.gz

I am currently in the process of updating them to use busybox 1.31.1, since it
is the most recent one.


I do have my own configuration. 

I would like to build busybox with that one.
so, before i run 

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOOLSDIR/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

I do a 

cat config_busybox >.config


Unfortunately, the Makefile does not want me to do that. The Makefile INSISTS
on re-running the make defconfig before building busybox. 
Why?
