Hello everybody,
I added a hook to the initramfs whose install script added 'uname' by using
add_binary. This resulted in major breakage and a kernel panicing on boot.
I suppose this is because there is a symlink from uname to busybox - with
adding uname I killed the busybox binary. Is this ok by design or do we want
to raise an error if something like this happens?
I created a patch (see attachment). Does this make sense?

putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}
