Karolis just used strace to diagnose why lynx 2.8.6 could not access 
websites with BL3 (or BL2 without full gzip) that it could with Slackware.
It no longer leaves gzipped html files in a /tmp directory like 2.8.5 did, 
which requires a gzip option not present in busybox gzip.

"Error uncompressing temporary file."

Add a Slackware gzip, or download for glibc 2.2.5 (needed for Opera)
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/gzip-1.3.9-glibc225

Karolis has compiled uclibc-static versions of openssh, a recent gzip and 
lynx 2.8.6rel4, which I need to test in BL3, and then he wants to 
recompile uclibc with 2.2 headers and recompile other programs with the 
recompiled uclibc.
