Then I'm a bit thrown by your opening description of "applets irrelevant to a target system". That's what I'm responding to. One that is relevant but is broken is just that: broken. Nothing special about that. I could easily see something like BB that had faces that were relevant within W32, or Hurd, yet contained plenty of configured-out (and could never even build) Linux applets that had no validity in those environments. I would _really_ hate to see them all crapped up with half-implemented junk that let them build anyway, but didn't even try to let them run correctly. That's like painting over rot. If you go to the trouble to make it build, an honest effort to make it run should go with that, else don't even start. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
