Summary:                    Busybox compiled but not working on SH3
Description: 
I am using buildroot-20070615.tar.bz2 with combination of uclibc-0.9.29 ,
binutils-2.17 , busybox-1.6.0 and gcc-4.2.0.
I made the following changes :
1. During compilation, I had to change a line in
toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-3.x.mk 
   Patch is attached. This is not the best that can be done, but it works
for me.
2. I had to add libgcc_s.so* libraries in the root file system manually.

The current situation is, the toolchain is built and I can compile and run
simple "Hello world!" like programs dynamically. But, the busybox does not
start and give any command prompt on serial console or tty0.

It gives the message like "Please press Enter to activate this console".
After pressing Enter's, same message appears again and again.
One more problem is, I can get login prompt on tty2 or so, but I cannot
login. I cannot configure the user and respective passwords coz I dont
have any command prompt to do so.

One more thing. The simple application has Flags=0x2,sh2 whereas the
busybox gets built with Flags=0x16.
