Summary:                    Selecting busybox in buildroot's config clobbers ar
(and probably other binutils)
Description: 
Using buildroot from 20051105 I run into a problem trying to compile apps
in my target system due to the fact that busybox's mini apps clobber the
real binutils in buildroot.  This is most noticable with ar for which the
busybox version cannot create archives as is necessary to compile many
apps/tools.
