For about a year now, I've been using Busybox to replace a lot of binaries in a
floppy/CD build that I've created, mostly for my personal use.  So far, it has
save a lot of space for the floppy boot image and works wonderfully.

As the semester closed, I picked up development again and started with 0.60.3. 
I compiled it with new module support and then tested it.  It said:
"To make this application work, you will need to recompile
with a kernel supporting the query_module system call. -Erik".
I was using kernel 2.2.19 and couldn't understand the problem.  After digging
around, I found where it was in the source.

Now, I realize what the problem was.  I compiled in a chroot'd environment with
a glibc 2.0 release.  I then compiled it again and carefully sifted through the
output and saw numerous warnings that I believe were caused by these old
glibc/kernel (2.0.36) headers.

I've compiled stuff from source before and never had a problem.  I'm not
familiar with constructing make files or using the advanced features of make
but is there a way that these warnings can be caught in a more obvious fashion,
like a statement that there were warnings at the end?
