I was able to compile lynx and a few other things with the same setup that
is described - runtime libraries from SW81 and compilation libraries from
SW71.  I had all sorts of problems, some of which had to do with busybox
not being adequate (did not work with certain switches).  I had to install
echo from sh-utils, and sort from txtutils.  I was able to compile zlib
and openssh and part of ncurses (libncurses.a worked, but the runtime
libraries would not work).  On this mixed system, I could not get
realplayer 8 to install (it gave me segmentation fault) even though it
would install on a system without any compiler, or on one with updated
runtime libraries and updated compiler libraries.

I was using the older compilation libraries so that the programs would
work for other users of BL2.  And the newer runtime libraries in order to
use Opera 7.23.

How much larger would BL2 be if it were installed to HD with the updated 
runtime libraries rather than the ones from SW71?


You might try replacing all the programs in busybox with their full-sized 
versions to see if that helps.
