Can anybody suggest what version of GCC & >binutils I should be using to produce a working busybox execautable for >x86. Or maybe I'm missing something that I don't need on other processors. I usually use the "minimal busybox target skeleton" and busybox from trunk (1.5.0 may work too, didn't try it, though). I use gcc-4.2 from the branch (4.1.2 is supposed to work too) and current binutils. Since you didn't paste any error, let me point you to docs/README for further information on how to configure busybox, uClibc and a kernel yourself. HTH,
