ether.h is needed for a full build of busybox:
$ grep -r ether_aton_r */
networking/udhcp/files.c: if (!mac_string || !ether_aton_r(mac_string, &mac_bytes))
networking/ether-wake.c: eap = ether_aton_r(hostid, eaddr);
networking/nameif.c: ch->mac = ether_aton_r(selector + (strncmp(selector, "mac=", 4) != 0 ? 0 : 4), lmac);
$ grep -r ether_ntoa */
networking/ether-wake.c: bb_debug_msg("The target station address is %s\n\n", ether_ntoa(eap));
networking/ether-wake.c: bb_debug_msg("Station address for hostname %s is %s\n\n", hostid, ether_ntoa(eaddr));
networking/zcip.c: ether_ntoa(sha),
networking/zcip.c: ether_ntoa(tha),
networking/arping.c: ether_ntoa((struct ether_addr *) p));
networking/arping.c: ether_ntoa((struct ether_addr *) p + ah->ar_hln + 4));
Most of these aren't universally needed, but I wanted to enable some of them.
Right now, I'm using Strake's patch and compiling musl with -Os.
Of course, these aren't going to be enough to make busybox allyesconfig
work right; I also ran into the following issues building busybox:
-<sys/personality.h> needs the macros from <linux/personality.h>
(for setarch)
-A few cases of using extra headers that break the busybox build:
<net/if_slip.h> can be changed to <linux/if_slip.h>
<net/if_packet.h> is included (needlessly for musl) in
networking/libiproute/iplink.c;
this header is roughly the macros from <sys/socket.h> + struct sockaddr_pkt
<netinet/ether.h> is used in arp and zcip
-CONFIG_COMPAT_EXTRA turns on use of glibc regex.h extensions in grep.
-Of course, vi still uses glibc regexes if you enable search and replace.
