Why would you need to reflash anything for putting a program on your
board on top of the Linux kernel? That would be very inconvenient,
wouldn't it? The technology has been a bit ahead for a couple of
decades now, Akhilesh.

Again, as Goetz wrote correct, busybox is not a container for
everything. If you want to put the wput executable (not wput.c, no, as
that is the source unless you want to build on the target), just put
it. Use Yocto, buildroot or some manual system that does it for you.
