It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit. Basically it means that you cannot portably use more that 32 option chars in one call anyway... Make it explicit.

2005-09-23We've gotten enough questions that are related to building systems ratherRob Landley
than anything about busybox that I'm deeming it a FAQ, and answering it. I gave a quick swipe to a couple of other slightly stale questions along the way. The busybox 1.01 README has much more detailed versions of these answers, that should probably be propogated to the 1.1 line and perhaps bits of it transplanted to the FAQ? (Or just have the README visible on the web page someplace?)
