[uClibc]booting with busybox and shared libraries

[Jason Luther]

Hello, all.

I am trying to boot Linux 2.4.12 with busybox-0.60.1 complied against uClibc
(yesterday's snapshot) on an i386 machine. This is what I get:

    ...
    Freeing unused kernel memory: 204k freed
    Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

If I compile busybox (or any other program placed at /sbin/init) statically,
everything works fine. If I run programs compiled against uClibc in my
development environment (Red Hat 7.1), they run okay.

That leads me to believe that I have done something wrong in building uClibc
or in installing it onto my target. I'm using whatever compiler comes with
Red Hat (gcc --version reports 2.96). If I run 'ldd libuClibc-0.9.5.so', it
depends on these things:
    /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40031000)
    ld-uClibc.so.0 => not found
    libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40048000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x2aaaa000)
