[Icon-tech] RE: Developer Update

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Is the ar program included with the binutils package and sence the first 
release of developer on 10/07 is there any other upgraded packages we should 
install?  If I login to the console and type ar I get the busybox message. 
What programs are included with binutils as it looks like the busybox ones 
are being used instead of the binutils ones in the packages.  This might be 
the reason ipk files are not building on my device and yes I have rebooted 
the device before doing these tests.
