While I started a clean install w/ ext toolchain (crosstool-ng -1.6.1),
I noticed that menuconfig still has a snag in it when starting from
scratch with config :

When HAL is not used and ext toolchain selected, udev & hotplug are
*not* displayed nor selected. 
busybox-show-others has to be enabled and they both have to be
explicitly enabled from there.
BR versions < 2009.11 turned 'em on when mdev was selected.

Perhaps it's deemed that HAL should be selected, dunno.

In any case, hotplug & udev should not be suppressed by SHOW_OTHERS,
since even busybox-1.16.1 does NOT offer them...

More feedback when I completely rebuild.

PS : ct-ng only offers "linuxthreads". So are we supposed to use
"stable/old" in BR or "new" (latter, I guess) ????
I seem to have had problems with that - invoking gdbserver prompts :
"can't load libthread_db.so.1".
This worked fine with internal toolchain... Anyone ?
