"Patches apply" and "result works on all targets well enough to build
LFS" have historically had a shaky relationship, but thanks for the
heads up. :)

I've been poking at things like what binutils is doing with
-Bsymbolic-functions (not "the right thing") and getting toybox find so
it can drop in replace busybox find (now it needs -maxdepth).

I need to cut a release with the 3.15 kernel still using/defaulting
uClibc, but letting you use musl with a config symbol. Might just do
MUSL=1 for that, so:

  MUSL=1 ./build.sh i586

(Of course how would it know that there's no musl support for sparc yet,
but it could _try_ to build...)

I fixed that in source control, next release should have that. Next
toybox release should be the end of the month, and I can do an
aboriginal with 3.16 then to catch up.

I18N support and iconv aren't directly related. This lets wc -m work.

I think I've fixed that now.

I'll try to get a new release out this coming weekend.

Thanks,
