DASH is not compilable for glibc-2.0.7.
I guess in order to be able to use different shells we should stick to an extreme low level of the possible tricks in the scripting _dialect_ so porting issues will pop up less frequently. This may sound like heresy in the ears of shell afficionados but will enhance the chance to use different interpreters.
No idea how much work it would take to get up to level alone with busybox ash, let alone with another interpreter.
My understanding is the busybox ash comes from the same source the ash used in LRP came from (although I think there are a few differences, such as command line history, that are implemented differently), and should work fine with LEAF.
IIRC, busybox ash has several compile-time options to allow for smaller size (by omitting "lesser-used" features that the complex scripts in LEAF tend to rely on). Are you sure you had everything enabled when you built the busybox ash and it still didn't work with Bering?
As sure as I can be, (which may not mean a lot.....), but then why do we have a separate implementation of ash, sed, halt, klogd, reboot, syslogd, watchdog, wget..... I believe busybox is part of initrd.lrp
But then, this is busybox 0.60.5
