This breaks --combine:
                -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group
libbb/messages.c:59: error: conflicting types for 'ptr_to_globals'
archival/gzip.c:346: error: previous declaration of 'ptr_to_globals' was
here
make[1]: *** [busybox] Error 1

Should use consistent types! Please fix..
TIA and cheers,
