- fix building out-of-tree;
to test, checkout the source (let's assume /scratch/src/busybox), then mkdir /tmp/bb ; cd /tmp/bb make top_srcdir=/scratch/src/busybox O="$(pwd)" -f /scratch/src/busybox/Makefile allyesconfig check - default to O=$(pwd) if no O was specified. Now you can just specify the top_srcdir (without O=/somewhere) to create the obj-tree in pwd. - make "make configtarget buildtarget" work. Previously this didn't work due to how HAVE_DOT_CONFIG was evaluated. Two separate steps were needed before, e.g. make config ; make busybox. - remove some unneeded variables from Rules.mak (BB_SRC_DIR from Mr. ldoolitt@recycle.lbl) which suggest that the stuff fixed above didn't work before. - move selinux libraries to where they belong (from Makefile to Rules.mak) - update the docs to mention svn instead of cvs and provide an example for building out-of-tree in INSTALL.
