Description Vladimir Ivanovic 2008-12-04 13:13:37 UTC
Description of problem: Busybox is not statically linked.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): busybox-1.10.3-3.fc10.i386 


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. file /sbin/busybox
2.
3.
  
Actual results: /sbin/busybox: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped



Expected results: something similar, except statically linked.


Additional info: Note that the rpm info says busybox is statically linked:
rpm -qi busybox ==> Summary     : Statically linked binary providing simplified versions of system commands
