Version 1.1.0 of busybox is out and it's required for use on initramfs systems. Adds switch_root and many other enhancements. It's also much more standards compliant than the previous busybox.
Created attachment 78604 [details, diff] patch against busybox-1.01.ebuild This ebuild worked for me. Just a version bump minus the patches that 1.01 needed. All the patches that were being provided are now provided directly by busybox.
The attached ebuild was tested on this system.

too bad stripping it segfaults on amd64 ;)
(In reply to comment #4) > too bad stripping it segfaults on amd64 ;) Just BFD. (ELFKickers sstrip when using mjn3's version works)
