I'd go ahead and set that static flag; while it doesn't use the c++ libraries (the most common fsck-up with glibc), it does link to libc (and possibly others) dynamically, and it's nice to be able to recover even a screwed up ld-linux.so or libc.6.so. You don't want it for all packages, so use /etc/portage/package.use to set it just for busybox. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
