In that case, we need to make self- executable binaries and install it with testing "ash" scripts so that it can run on busybox. It may be just a technical issue. > If such cross builds are triggered from git pushes akin to how > Fengguang's 0-day is already working we are in a positive > flow I think. Agreed.
