This system is based on Linux From Scratch, which means it builds a /tools 
directory (containing busybox, uclibc, linux-libc-headers, gcc, binutils, 
make, and bash), and then builds a new Linux system with that as its chroot 
environment.

I haven't tried rebuilding it under the resulting system recently.  (It hasn't 
got any sane init scripts and such.  I need to configure mdev to 
populate /dev and such.  Shouldn't be too hard.)

Needing bash is because I don't trust the current busybox shell mess.  I have 
a pending rewrite (bbsh) unifying it all, and my main test environment is my 
firmware build.
