Hi,

I have an OpenWRT router with "White Russian" release in remote
location. It has no "su" command and if I inspect the
package/busybox/config/loginutils/Config.in file in
http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/0.9/whiterussian-0.9.tar.bz2,
then looks like BusyBox was compiled without "su" command. In
addition, there seems to be no "coreutils-su" package for "White
Russian" as there is for example for "Backfire"( OpenWRT 10.03). I
installed OpenWRT "Backfire" to identical router and installed the
coreutils-su_7.2-1_brcm47xx.ipk package and then copied /usr/bin/su to
this remote "White Russian" router. While the binary architecture
should be correct, it does not run:

root@wr:~# /usr/bin/su

/usr/bin/su: symbol 'stdout': can't handle reloc type 0x7e
root@wr:~#

Error above should indicate to library issues. According to ldd "su"
binary requires following libraries:

libcrypt.so.0 => /lib/libcrypt.so.0 (0x2aabe000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x2aae2000)
libc.so.0 => /lib/libc.so.0 (0x2ab02000)
ld-uClibc.so.0 => /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0 (0x2aaa8000)

In "Backfire", where "su" binary was copied from, they have following versions:

libcrypt-0.9.30.1.so
libgcc_s.so.1
libuClibc-0.9.30.1.so
ld-uClibc-0.9.30.1.so

In "White Russian" they have following versions:

libcrypt-0.9.27.so
libgcc_s.so.1
libuClibc-0.9.27.so
ld-uClibc-0.9.27.so

I guess it is not safe to simply copy newer libraries into the "White
Russian" router as it might break some programs.

Should I install OpenWRT "White Russian" to this spare router and try
to copile coreutils or coreutils-su there and then again copy the su
binary into this remote router? If yes, then which coreutils or
coreutils-su source version should I use in order to compile the su
binary? I looked into
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/utils, but didn't find
anything suitable.
Or maybe there is some smarter way?


thanks,
Martin
