buildroot4minimalism
====================

Trying to build a minimal buildroot for using as the root in a container image.

Just using the default setup from buildroot, but without bootloader and kernel.

2022.02.x:
- GCC 10 (`BR2_GCC_VERSION_10_X=y`)
- Linux 5.15 (`BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_5_15=y`)

Component | Project | Notes
-------------- | ------------- | ------------
C Library | uclibc | libc.so
Shell | busybox | /bin/sh
Packages | buildroot | make
