hello

my build of 1.29.0 (from official tarball
https://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.29.0.tar.bz2) stops with:

    ----8<----
    attempt to open /opt/stow.d/versions/gcc-8.1.0/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.1.0/../../../libresolv.a failed/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib64/libm.a when searching for -lm
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lm
    /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib64/libresolv.a when searching for -lresolv
    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lresolv
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

    make[1]: *** [Makefile:718: busybox_unstripped] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/balducci/tmp/install-us-d/busybox-1.28.4.d/busybox-1.29.0'
    ---->8----

AFAICS, the reason is the presence of 3 ld scripts which (it looks to
me) shouldn't be there:

    busybox_ldscript
    busybox_ldscript_bss
    busybox_ldscript_nobss

The failure is because the ld scripts are (apparently) for a 32 bit
machine:

    ----8<----
    #:2> head busybox_ldscript
    /* Script for -z combreloc: combine and sort reloc sections */
    OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-i386", "elf32-i386",
                  "elf32-i386")
    OUTPUT_ARCH(i386)
    ENTRY(_start)
    SECTIONS
    {
      /* Read-only sections, merged into text segment: */
      PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x08048000); . = 0x08048000 + SIZEOF_HEADERS;
      .interp         : { *(.interp) }
    ---->8----

where my box is 64 bit

As a matter of fact, removing the scripts makes the build complete successfully.

ciao
