Bug#325244: busybox FTBFS due to gcc-4.0 on powerpc, mips, mipsel and ia64, breaks d-i.

[Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>]

Package: busybox
Version: 1.00-5
Severity: serious
Tags: patch d-i
Justification: no longer builds from source


Hi, busybox 1.00-4 and 1.00-5 fail to build on powerpc, ia64 and both mips,
and as a consequence was not rebuild with the newer glibc 2.3.5, and thus
failed horribly in d-i with stuff like :

  /bin/sh: relocation error: /bin/sh: symbol longjmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not
  defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

The build error are rather trivial gcc-4.0 issues, and the appended patch
solves them in a correct albeit maybe not most esthetical way.

Please consider an upload ASAP to fix those issues, as they severly break
debian-installer on those architectures.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
