Created an attachment (id=1153)
 --> (https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=1153)
Config file for building an NFS buildroot for development purposes.

The config file attached has left off these two, but these were giving me
errors as well:

docker
xstroke

These would NOT compile unless BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC is not set:
uemacs
nano
vim

The error was undefined hidden symbol in libgcc.a(xxxxxxx.o)  '__xxxxx()'
referenced by DSO.

The xxx was different for each of these (I attempted to compile each with a
shared libgcc) but seemed to center on references to g_printerr, g_print,
g_slist_length, g_malloc0, g_free, g_slist_append, g_slist_Remove_link, and
g_strdup_printf.  These seem to be calling functions from the EABI as some were
like ul_div32_helper() -- though some were not referred to as EABI but AABI,
which greatly confuse me.

It appeared that the source of the problem was in glib2, but I cannot verify
this and could not locate any way around this issue.

My gut tells me that linking libgcc.a in statically is "bad" and I prefer not
to do that, but I'm in a bit over my head with where the problem is.
