The work around has been to disable the applets causing issues, but proper patches should be developed:

Maybe take a look at what alpine linux is doing with busybox.

All low hanging fruit is already fixed upstream.

ifplugd seems to compile fine now.

FEATURE_VI_REGEX_SEARCH and EXTRA_COMPAT need the unportable GNU regex
and are not easy to fix.

yep just discovered that

these are still off, its UTMP that needs clean up in 1.24.1.  It looks easy enough to cleanup with a patch but I just haven't had time to do it cleanly so it can go upstream.

So this is now fixed with bug #567506.

sorry i should not say "fixed"  because the proper fix is to patch busybox.  I mean the workarounds for the build are in busybox-1.24.1-r99.ebuild on the musl overlay.
