'tmpscript' was not removed.

The busybox-1.01 rm is not working, in David's script and elsewhere:

ppp-off ... rm:  unable to stat `/tmp/grep.tmp`.  Function not 
implemented.  Same for rm testfile.

So busybox-1.01 as compiled by Stephen Clement with uclibc has a better 
tail and expr, BUT rm, and also mv cp du and top and probably others are 
not working.

ps, free, ls, ping, insmod, grep, uptime and yes work.

I will try the larger version of his 1.01.  (Can't mv it to busybox 
because mv is broken, until I exit /busybox101).

In the version compiled with a larger library (BLAAG?) rm, cp, mv, du and 
top all work.

Is there some trick to compiling with uclibc?
