When include/applets.h is re-generated
it generates code macros in include/applets.h e.g.
IF_XZCAT(APPLET_ODDNAME(xzcat, unxz, BB_DIR_USR_BIN, BB_SUID_DROP, xzcat))
...
IF_CHVT(APPLET_NOEXEC(chvt, chvt, BB_DIR_USR_BIN, BB_SUID_DROP, chvt))
...
sed is used to process source files like below to feed into this header
generation
sed -n 's@^//applet:@@p' "$srctree"/*/*.c "$srctree"/*/*/*.c
this means we let shell decide the order of .c files being fed into sed
tool, applets.h has code snippets thats generated out of code fragments
from these .c files and the order of the generated code depends on the
order of .c files being fed to sed and then piped to generate tool, even
though the generated code is logically same, it does result in re-odered
code in applets.h based on which shell was used during build on exact busybox
sources since sort order is different based on chosen locale and also default shell
being bash or dash
This sets the environment variable LC_ALL to the value C, which will
enforce bytewise sorting, irrespective of the shell

Commit 4bdc914ff (build system: fix compiler warnings) added a
test on the return value of fgets() in split-include.c.
During bisection it's possible to go back to a state where a
configuration value didn't exist. This results in an empty
include file corresponding to the missing feature. If a
subsequent bisection returns to a state where the feature exists
split-include treats the empty file as an error and the build
fails.
Add a call to ferror() to distinguish between fgets() failing
due to an error and due to there being no data to read.

When using GNU Make >=4.3, the KBUILD_STR() definition interferes badly
with dependency checks during build, and forces a complete rebuild every
time Make runs.
In if_changed_rule, Kconfig checks if the command used to build a file
has changed since last execution. The previous command is stored in the
generated .<file>.o.cmd file. For example applets/.applets.o.cmd defines
a "cmd_applets/applets.o" variable:
cmd_applets/applets.o := gcc ... -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s" ...
Here the '#' should be escaped with a backslash, otherwise GNU Make
interprets it as starting a comment, and ignore the rest of the
variable. As a result of this truncation, the previous command doesn't
equal the new command and Make rebuilds each target.
The problem started to appear when GNU Make 4.3 (released January 2020),
introduced a backward-incompatible fix to macros containing a '#'. While
the above use of '#', a simple Make variable, still needs to be escaped,
a '#' within a function invocation doesn't need to be escaped anymore.
As Martin Dorey explained on the GNU Make discussion [1], the above
declaration is generated from make-cmd, defined as:
make-cmd = $(subst \#,\\\#,$(subst $$,$$$$,$(call escsq,$(cmd_$(1))))
Since GNU Make 4.3, the first argument of subst should not have a
backslash. make-cmd now looks for literally \# and doesn't find it, and
as a result doesn't add the backslash when generating .o.cmd files.
[1] http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20513
We could fix it by changing make-cmd to "$(subst #,\#,...)", but to
avoid compatibility headaches, simply get rid of the KBUILD_STR
definition, as done in Linux by b42841b7bb62 ("kbuild: Get rid of
KBUILD_STR"). Quote the string arguments directly rather than asking the
preprocessor to quote them.

If both are enabled ash takes precedence.

isn't compiled into hush.

BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts. Two types can be
distinguished: custom scripts and scripts implementing applets.
Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build
time. They are given a default applet configuration and appear
as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible.
Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and
are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen
to be implemented as scripts. They can be configured at build time
and appear just like native applets.
Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory. A stub
C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration
details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory. It may be
helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the
script requires: see the 'nologin' applet for an example.

To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient
to embed them in the BusyBox binary.
'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory
'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them
and embeds them in the binary.
When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as
'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism.
embed/nologin is provided as an example.
