[BusyBox] ash running /etc/profile when started from inittab, take II

[rich_wilson at agilent.com]

Vodz,

The development version of init.c gives me many compile errors.

I grabbed busybox_stable init.c version 1.164 and plugged it into my busybox 0.60.3.

With inittab reading
  ttyS0::respawn:-/bin/sh
my /etc/profile is read, but I still get the dreaded "sh: can't access tty; job control turned off"
If I try
  ttyS0::respawn:-/bin/sh </dev/ttyS0 >/dev/ttyS0 2>/dev/ttyS0
I get the message
  exec: -/bin/sh: No such file or directory
printed about once per second.

I suppose I need to grab a snapshot of the entire development tree!
<go do it: get July 24 version>
Oops, I'm getting a link error.  I don't understand why.  Here's the transcript:

It looks to me like main IS defined.
Any ideas?
