Possibly, it was quite some time ago! And I have an imperfect memory.

I'm fairly sure I would have put up any patches if I did need to change
things; that is what I normally do. I'm trying to dig the source tree out of
my archive just to verify.

I would say that the binary there is pretty much completely redundant now.
Any new busybox 'for android' should probably build against the Android
C library, with the Android version of gcc etc. My contribution was done
before any of the Android source was available, and was compiled with
the codesourcery gcc compiler.

(Note: Strictly speaking I really should have the source code for it
irrespective of if I made any changes to the source code; rectifying
that now.)

Cheers,

Benno
