Hiroshi found another bug.  Currently sed's $ triggers at end of every file,
and with multiple files SuSv3 says it should only trigger at the end of the
LAST file.

The trivial fix I tried first broke if the last file is empty.  Fixing this
properly required restructuring things to create a file list (actually a
FILE * list), and then processing it all in one go.  (There's probably a
smaller way to do this, merging with append_list perhaps.  But let's get
the behavior correct first.)

Note that editing files in place (-i) needs the _old_ behavior, with $
triggering at the end of each file.

Here's a test of all the things this patch fixed.  gnu and busybox seds produce
the same results with this patch, and different without it.

Because pattern_space got freed but the dead pointer was only overwritten

While debugging it, I found out that the hold space is persistent between

Hi!

I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.

That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.

I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.

'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.

One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

Patch from Michael Tokarev:

Scenario:

  touch x -- creates plain file name `x'
  mkdir x -- exits successefully

libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains
the following code:

        if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) {
            /* If we failed for any other reason than the directory
             * already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/
            if (errno != EEXIST) {
                fail_msg = "create";
                umask(mask);
                break;
            }
            /* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change
             * permissions if it was the full target.  Note that
             * this is not an error conditon. */
            if (!c) {
                umask(mask);
                return 0;

The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory*
already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause
this error to be returned.  Proper way IMHO will be is to stat()
the path and check whenever this is really a directory.  Below
(attached) is a patch to fix this issue.
