[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] system: make /bin/sh symlink use relative path

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Matthew, All,

On 2015-06-16 15:42 -0500, Matthew Starr spake thusly:
> The symlink created by buildroot for /bin/sh is the full path to

> distributions do with using relative path symlinks. When handling

...a relative path.

Relative paths can be made even for t=files not in the same directory,
so I don;t think there's much need for that end of the sentence
(starting with 'since').

> This was reported as Bug #8161 at bugs.busybox.net

We usually state that with something like;

    Fixes #8161

since the maintainer greps for that pattern when doing the announcement
mail (to credit bug fixers).
