Summary:                    [patch] fix assumptions the build environment is
Linux
Description: 
• not all systems have /bin/bash

• compressed usage generation does not work if the target sy-
  stem deviates from the build system too much: busybox itself
  includes several Linux headers, which obviously aren't existent
  on a real UNIX® system from which buxybox is cross-compiled;
  disabling compressed usage was not enough, since the utility
  programme was still built (I'd be glad if you have a better
  fix, since like this you still have to define a variable)

no, not all systems have /bin/bash, but trylink is a POSIX shell script and
all systems must have a /bin/sh

as for usage, it builds fine for me on OS X so i dont know what your
trouble is, but simply disabling it in the Makefile is incorrect
