between your work and theirs. But otherwise, all of these are fair game.

- Add BB_NOMMU to platform.h and migrate __uClinux__ tests to that.
- #if defined __UCLIBC__ && !defined __ARCH_USE_MMU__
Add a libbb/platform.c
Implement fdprintf() for platforms that haven't got one.
Implement bb_realpath() that can handle NULL on non-glibc.
Cleanup bb_asprintf()
- Migrate calloc() and bb_calloc() occurrences to bb_xzalloc().
Remove obsolete _() wrapper crud for internationalization we don't do.
Figure out where we need utf8 support, and add it.

init
General cleanup (should use ENABLE_FEATURE_INIT_SYSLOG and ENABLE_FEATURE_INIT_DEBUG).
depmod
use of the depmod.pl (perl is to bloated for most embedded setups) and or orig
modutils. The orig depmod is rather pointless to have to add to a firmware image
in when we already have a insmod/rmmod and friends.
- Unify base64 handling.
- There's base64 encoding and decoding going on in:
- networking/wget.c:base64enc()
- coreutils/uudecode.c:read_base64()
- coreutils/uuencode.c:tbl_base64[]
- networking/httpd.c:decodeBase64()
- And probably elsewhere. That needs to be unified into libbb functions.
Do a SUSv3 audit
Look at the full Single Unix Specification version 3 (available online at
"http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/nfindex.html") and
Bernhard Fischer <busybox@busybox.net> suggests to look at these:
- Makefile stuff:
- make -j is broken. klibc make infrastructure (vda?)
New debug options:
-Wlarger-than-127
Cleanup any big users
As yet unclaimed:
-----
-find
- doesn't understand (), lots of susv3 stuff.
----
diff
Make sure we handle empty files properly:
ar
Write support?

possible code duplication ingroup() and is_a_group_member()
----
- unify itoa: netstat.c, hush.c, lash.c, msh.c
- Put one single, robust version into e.g. safe_strtol.c

Move __get_hz() to a better place and (re)use it in route.c, ash.c, msh.c
---
+ See grep -r strtod
+ Alot of duplication that wants cleanup.

Code cleanup:
Replace deprecated functions.
-bzero() -> memset()
----
-sigblock(), siggetmask(), sigsetmask(), sigmask() -> sigprocmask et al
---
vdprintf() -> similar sized functionality
