Summary:                    ldd fails with ash - "set -o" doesn't return nonzero
exit status [PATCH attached]
Description: 
The "ldd" command is a shell script.  (At least some versions of ...) the
script include the line:

  if  set -o pipefail 2> /dev/null; then

The intention is to test for the existence of the pipefail option.

When the busybox version of ash is used as /bin/sh, this line causes the
script to exit, instead of "set -o pipefile" returning nonzero exit status
and letting "if" do its thing.  The net result is that "ldd" silently
exits, instead of doing its job of displaying library dependencies.

A patch to fix this is attached.  The patch changes the behavior of the
"set" command so that instead of bailing out if presented with an
unrecognized argument to "-o", it returns exit status 1 (the same as
bash).

The patch is against the version of ash in Busybox 1.1.0
