A "FWIW" for any and all...to get qemu to work with the tiny image, I had
to do a menuconfig for busybox and add "setsid" and "cttyhack", otherwise I
was getting "not found" and "error 127" loops on startup.

(hints on how to do this without menuconfig are welcome...I tried creating
my own recipe and adding package ${PN}-setsid or including my own (edited)
defconfig, but neither seemed to work.
