Created attachment 7431 [details] busybox config Using busybox-1.27.2, with the same .config with x86 and x86_64, the mv command will move broken symlinks with x86_64, but not with x86. x86_64 $ mkdir -p test/old test/new $ cd test/old $ touch some-file $ ln -s some-file good-link $ ln -s no-file bad-link $ mv * ../new $ cd .. $ find . ./new ./new/some-file ./new/good-link ./new/bad-link ./old ..with x86, bad-link is left in ./old
Note that in busybox-1.24, both 32-bit mv and 64-bit mv work as expected.

In case anybody else has the problem, here are the details: glibc-2.26, gcc-7.2, busybox-1.27.2 - doesn't work glibc-2.24, gcc-6.2, busybox-1.27.2 - doesn't work glibc-2.22, gcc-5.2, busybox-1.24.0 - OK
(In reply to john.frankish from comment #3) glibc-2.26, gcc-7.2, busybox-1.27.2 - doesn't work glibc-2.24, gcc-6.2, busybox-1.27.2 - doesn't work glibc-2.22, gcc-5.2, busybox-1.24.0 - OK Can you find at which exact bbox version it stopped working?
I did some testing, compiling 32-bit with: glibc-2.22, gcc-5.2; busybox-1.24.2, 1.25.1, 1.26.2, 1.27.2 all OK glibc-2.24, gcc-6.2; busybox-1.25.1, 1.26.2, 1.27.2 none OK
