Alias-ing problem

[Sergio]

Hi list,

I'm using two different (version) cross-compilers for a PPC board. One of
them compiles a BB with a problem in the alias builtin command.

The BB sources and configuration are absolutely the same on both PC.

These are two outputs, the first from the working one:

*** working ***
PMFU_1:~/bb # alias
la='ls -la'
PMFU_1:~/bb #
PMFU_1:~/bb # la
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Jan  1 01:42 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Jan  1 01:42 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       309912 Jan  1 01:27 busybox-ko
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       313084 Jan  1 01:34 busybox-ok
PMFU_1:~/bb #
PMFU_1:~/bb # la /bin/busybox
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       313084 Jan  1 01:57 /bin/busybox
PMFU_1:~/bb #

**** not working ****
PMFU_1:~/bb # alias
la='ls -la'
PMFU_1:~/bb #
PMFU_1:~/bb # la
ls: invalid option -- .
BusyBox v1.13.3 (2009-03-12 14:43:18 CET) multi-call binary

Usage: ls [-1AacCdeilnRrSsTtuvwxXk] [filenames...]

PMFU_1:~/bb #


The good compiler is 3.3.6, the bad is 3.4.3. They produce different
executables as you can see in the output reported above.

Busybox version is 1.13.3, attached the config.

Thanks
