  In theory it's possible to use Busybox under other operating systems (such as
  MacOS X, Solaris, Cygwin, or the BSD Fork Du Jour).  This generally involves
  a different kernel and a different C library at the same time.  While it
  should be possible to port the majority of the code to work in one of
  these environments, don't be suprised if it doesn't work out of the box.  If
  you're into that sort of thing, start small (selecting just a few applets)
  and work your way up.

In Debian GNU/kFreeBSD at the moment we are "selecting just a few applets"...

Ok.
I'll try to submit an updated patch.

At the moment "selecting just a few applets"...
In the future I hope with macros, and referring to other commands
implementation already in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.
I don't know about watchdog...
