Yes, i see this bug, ill see what i can work out.

Which programs install binaries suid, suid root can be dangerous.

Ive played with using busybox + minimal toolchain as a basic build
environment myself, only rebuilt a full toolchain though, not that many
packages.

Have you had any other problems, what other binaries do you use other
than busybox + toolchain ?
