I suggest you try to get that fixed upstream so they do allow for ./configure --disable-readline-and-yes-i-really-do-not-want-it Short of that, why don't you use busybox in the first place? I'm really curious how big your "fixed" which binary is? Mine looks like this, perhaps your's is smaller? $ size debianutils/which.o text data bss dec hex filename 211 0 0 211 d3 debianutils/which.o Just to give you some background: buildroot is ment to serve as an environment for uClibc. That's it's primary goal AFAIU. Second, it's ment to serve as an easy way to get you a _small_ filesystem (thus using busybox targeted at uClibc). There is really no reason why .._HIDE_OTHER is visible to a casual user since it's not ment to be actually used, but just to test uClibc, in my POV. Please, just set BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS=y in your toplevel .config. > >Patch attached. As said. Re-read the patch. Send it to the maintainers of "debianutils" and understand why they will most likely reject it in it's current form. HTH,
