The bzip support in busybox just got re-written from scratch to be smaller, 
faster, and more understandable.  But because CVS is kind of limited, the new 
file was renamed to replace the old fileplace so cvs wouldn't have to deal 
with the concept of renaming a file.  This means that instead of the build 
breaking saying it can't find the right file, the build breaks saying it 
can't find the right function names (which have a slightly different calling 
convention).

What's trying to link against the busybox code?  (I take it you're trying to 
build busybox tar?  This hasn't been converted to use the new code yet.)

The proper place for this is, of course, the busybox list. :)
