Description Mark Hatle 2012-01-13 11:02:18 UTC 
This should likely be re-factored out of busybox, as I believe kernel24 is now obsolete.

(The problem was discovered on a configuration where MACHINE_FEATURES was not set.)
Comment 1 Andrei Gherzan 2012-01-17 03:20:45 UTC 
Busybox checks if MACHINE_FEATURES contains "kernel24". If so, CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES will be on "y". kernel24 is no longer present in any machines configuration so yes, indeed it is obsolete.
busybox_cfg('kernel24', machine_features, 'CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES', cnf, rem)

The same situation is in uglibc:
uclibc_cfg('kernel24',  machine_features,'UCLIBC_LINUX_MODULE_24', cnf, rem)

This bug would be solved by removing these two lines.
