I am trying to dynamically link busybox with the correct libraries but
run into problems with directory paths and CC/LD flags.

I am using the toolchain supplied with ELDK and my target board is
ppc_8xx based. The busybox version that I am using is 1.1.3.

Is this the correct place to make modifications?

Has anyone already figured the changes required to get this to work
with ELDK toolchain?

Any insight would be useful.

I have busybox 1.2 building under ELDK 4.0, and didn't mess at all with
the Make system, and am building for a ppc_6xx- target.  I realize this
isn't quite your setup, but is pretty close.

As long as you have the tools listed in your PATH (in my
case /opt/tools/eldk4.0/usr/bin:/opt/tools/eldk4.0/bin), you should be
able to build fine using 'make menuconfig'.  Just go to 'Busybox
Settings->Build Options' and select 'Do you want to build BusyBox with a
Cross Compiler?', in your case entering 'ppc_8xx-' or whatever the
prefix is for your CPU.
