Yup. :)

It turns out only x86 and x86-64 were broken, and svn 24515 fixed it.  That's 
just not in any of the release versions yet.

Fixed in svn 24253.  I expect Denys will have a bugfix release out any day 
now.

Busybox has a history of quarterly development releases, with bugfix-only 
releases about once a month between them.  For example, August 21 was busybox 
1.12.0 (new development), september 28 was busybox 1.12.1 (bugfix only), 
november 10 was busybox 1.13.0 (new development, and released at the same time 
was the bugfix only 1.12.2 for the previous version), and november 29 was two 
bugfix only releases (1.13.1 and 1.12.3).

Bernhard has proposed that uClibc should have a bugfix-only release sometime 
around February (as opposed to "when we have some bugs worth fixing"), and 
that the next development release should probably actually happen, someday.  
(Presumably when we run out of half-finished new things we want to eventually 
merge.)

Of the two approaches, I consider the "release early, release often" one more 
personally useful.
