Require long time ago. ;-)

My local ash version outdated.
Only hands patch for bash-like errors message:
ash: kill: (pid) - Operation not permitted

Please change exvwarning() to new:

static void
exvwarning(const char *msg, va_list ap)
{
         FILE *errs;

         errs = stderr;
         fprintf(errs, "%s: ", arg0);
         if (commandname) {
                 const char *fmt = (!iflag || parsefile->fd) ?
					"%s: %d: " : "%s: ";
                 fprintf(errs, fmt, commandname, startlinno);
         }
         vfprintf(errs, msg, ap);
         outcslow('\n', errs);
}


and line with kill() and sh_warnx() to

                 if (kill(pid, signo) != 0) {
                         sh_warnx("(%d) - %m\n", pid);
