Edit the Maekfile and look for these lines:

110 # For other libraries, you are on your own...
111 #LDFLAGS+=-nostdlib
112 #LIBRARIES = $(LIBCDIR)/lib/libc.a -lgcc
113 #CROSS_CFLAGS+=-nostdinc -I$(LIBCDIR)/include -I$(GCCINCDIR)
114 #GCCINCDIR = $(shell gcc -print-search-dirs | sed -ne "s/install:
\(.*\)/\1include/gp")

Sorry, it didn't catch that you where a newbie.

When you compile the busybox project the standard gcc compiler and the
standard libs will be use if nothing else is specified. If you want to
tell gcc (the compiler) and ld (the linker) that it should a different
lib you have to define "-nostdlib" and then tell the compiler and the
linker where to find the libs you want to use insted of the standard
libs. ( Hope that helped a bit :-) )

Do you use a cross compiler?

Which version of busybox do you use?

Hello ,

One simple solution is, download a pre-built compiler which uses
uclibc. USe that toolchain to build your busybox!
