386 binaries should work on all systems... right?

why not? :D

Known issue - it's bash's fault, actually. First off, stop using ifup (use
ifconfig, udhcpc for dhcp), and secondly, 1.0 will use busybox ash entirely.

Seems bash + uclibc + kernel > 2.6.24 segfaults randomly. That's why I
started
writing my init, before realizing it was a bash issue :D

True... currently I have my 486 with a full compiler - makes lilo nicely - of
course, this will make 486 binaries, so no dice.

If you want to build everything with full compiler support, I'll upload the
config files, and you can save me about 2/3s of the compile time for
release :P
