Busybox build fails on Arch

[DataThinkMonkey]

Attempting to build on Arch but make build fails.

Thank you for trying NiceOS and sorry for not smooth first build. This is unfortunately because of Arch team remove static libcrypt for size and/or for better future proof security with forcing dynamic linking.

In next comment I provide some solutions.

Example how to obtain libcrypt.a from debian sid repository:

package source: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libcrypt-dev
choose mirror from: https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
download deb package and extract libcrypt.a, eg:

wget 'http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxcrypt/libcrypt-dev_4.4.27-1.1_amd64.deb'
# verify deb package signature or download from multiple sources and use diff
ar x libcrypt-dev_4.4.27-1.1_amd64.deb
tar xf data.tar.xz
sudo cp usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.a /lib/
sudo chmod o+r /lib/libcrypt.a

or if you have access to debian system copy from there or use my libcrypt.a in ghost preset

Thank you for raising issue. I remove my specific hack and now build_busybox.sh is much more cleaner. I also add note to readme that links to this issue.
