Really? It's been Debian's default shell for years https://wiki.debian.org/Shell
The source code is quite well hidden:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dash/dash.git

If it worked in 0.33 fine, and the exact same source compiles without
a warning, error, or problem (in every libc known to man, including
klibc) - would that suggest it's a bug in dietlibc?
Do you have a test suite or suggestion for a bunch of "known good"
programs (that include tests), I can compile with both versions and
let you know the results?


Thanks,
