The busybox 1.32 cpio extracts aumix and clockspeed but for elinks*.cpio 
(about 5.6MB):

cpio: unsupported cpio format, use newc or crc

man cpio:

newc:  The new (SVR4) portable format, which supports file systems having 
more than 65546 i-nodes

crc:  same thing with a checksum added.

SW7.1 (a1) cpio.tgz is only 72K and also includes mt for tape backup.
It worked.

elinks-uclibc is 2.4MB.
elinks dynamic against glibc is 1.6MB

About lists SSL but not javascript support, No Backtrace, etc., same as 
what I compiled.  Works in BL2.  I need to reboot to BL3 to test.
