Just out of curiosity, how much faster is gsh than busybox?

I believe that busybox is produced by the Windows cross-compiler that I have loaded from EPEL. Can gsh be built the same way?

I never did the test. At the time we started the project busybox was not sufficient to use in a full build of gcc, binutils, gdb, ...

Though I never tried using a cross compiler to compiler GSH should not be an issue

This is the MinGW cross-compiler for Windows that I found in EPEL.

Alas, no ADA.
