The "ginit" applet that Gentoo adds to busybox has a typo in its "applet" directive. In init/ginit.c: //applet:IF_INIT(APPLET(ginit, BB_DIR_SBIN, BB_SUID_DROP)) should be: //applet:IF_GINIT(APPLET(ginit, BB_DIR_SBIN, BB_SUID_DROP)) ^
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Fix applet setup http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/busybox/files/ginit.c?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
