Supported architectures:
- BusyBox in general will build on any architecture supported by gcc. It has
- a few specialized features added for __sparc__ and __alpha__. insmod
- functionality is currently limited to x86, ARM, SH3/4, powerpc, m68k,
- MIPS, cris, and v850e.

+ Kernel module loading for 2.2 and 2.4 Linux kernels is currently
+ limited to ARM, CRIS, H8/300, x86, ia64, x86_64, m68k, MIPS, PowerPC,
+ S390, SH3/4/5, Sparc, v850e, and x86_64 for 2.4.x kernels. For 2.6.x
+ kernels, kernel module loading support should work on all architectures.

Supported C Libraries:
- glibc-2.0.x, glibc-2.1.x, glibc-2.2.x, glibc-2.3.x, uClibc. People
- are looking at newlib and diet-libc, but consider them unsupported,
- untested, or worse. Linux-libc5 is no longer supported -- you
- should probably use uClibc instead if you want a small C library.

Supported kernels:
Full functionality requires Linux 2.2.x or better. A large fraction of the
code should run on just about anything. While the current code is fairly
Linux specific, it should be fairly easy to port the majority of the code
- to, say, FreeBSD or Solaris, or MacOsX, or even Windows (if you are into that
- sortof thing).

With GNU date I get the following output:
$ date

But when I use BusyBox date I get this instead:
