Max, All,

> It would be great to be able to use [embedded scripts]

What is the advantage over having the scripts installed in /bin or /usr/bin
instead? If you are concerned about space that much that you want to take
advantage of busybox' compression of the scripts, you would anyway consider
a compressed filesystem like squashfs anyway, so the space gain would
probably be ridiculous.

> there is no configuration option in buildroot [for that]

Indeed no, but it should not be overly complex to add. Yet, I'd like to
see a good explanations why that would be better than to have the scripts
in the filesystem instead.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

PS. Yes, support for embedded scripts is enabled in a default build, but
that's an accident: our busybox .config was created before embedded scripts
were a thing, so they are not explicitly disabled in our .config, and since
the default for them in busybox is 'y', we end up with a buysbox that has
support for embedded script (but no such script).
