[BusyBox] question about SIGFPE

[Bob Winslow]

yep... you were right on... actually, the executable and libs were from the 
ppc_82xx directory instead of from the ppc_8xx directory...

My bad...   thanks for the help..

Bob

If it's running fine in the ELDK environment, then chances  are  that
it's  a  library  issue.  Probably  you are using some mis-configured
and/or incompatible libraries in your target environment.

Probably - when building your libraries. You  did  not  mention  what
sort  of hardware you're dealing with - I bet it's a FPU less system,
and you are using libraries that were built assuing incorrectly  that
there was a FPU present.

Try copying the ELDK libraries to your target root filesystem.

Best regards,
