I think the cool part about kernel + busybox type sandbox is that you can get a working system with only 2 binaries and doesn’t even need a cross-compiler.
when I was playing with this stuff the hardest part for me was getting my head around:
1. why do I need a cross-compiler if my system has a compiler already???
2. why do I need to compile the compiler twice??
And well it turns out you don’t really need these steps but they’re required as part of the bootstrap process for GCC/glibc itself.
