[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] Fix Busybox “uname -o”

Since r47288, “uname -o” shows “n”. It used to be “GNU/Linux”.

root at gw1 sh# uname -a
Linux gw1.nyc 4.1.11 #1 Sat Nov 21 12:50:41 EST 2015 mips n
root at gw1 sh# uname -o
n

It looks like a recent change in Busybox uname made “uname -o”
configurable:
http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit?id=64ed5f0d3c5eefbb208d4a334654834c78be2cbd
.

In build_dir/target-mips_34kc_musl-1.1.11/busybox-1.24.1/.config, I see

CONFIG_UNAME_OSNAME="n"

Probably relevant, I use CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CUSTOM=y.

OpenWrt’s busybox/config/coreutils/Config.in needs to mirror Busybox’ own
coreutils/Config.src. Likely, all of OpenWrt’s busybox Config.in files need
to be updated in this way after a Busybox update.
