The patch for boot-floppies is a one-liner (see attachment) to disable
library reduction for mipsel as this seems to be broken. When running
with reduced libraries on mipsel, busybox segfaults while it works
with non-reduced libs. As size is no issue (booting is done with tftp
and the image of kernel+ramdisk can be up to 16MB), library reduction
is not necessary for mipsel.
The wget bug in busybox has already been reported and a fixed package
will be uploaded soon (according to Matt Kraai <kraai@debian.org> in
<[🔎] 20010725111038.A27930@opensource.lineo.com> on debian-boot).
A patch for debootstrap has been filed to the BTS.
Greetings,
Karsten
