What is Toybox?
combines many common Linux command line utilities together into a single BSD-licensed executable. It's simple, small, fast, and reasonably standards-compliant (POSIX-2008 and LSB 4.1).
The list of commands remaining before we can build Linux From Scratch under the result (with an appropriate compiler) is tracked in the roadmap, and doing so is one of the main goals for toybox's 1.0 release. Specifically, it's a bunch of the original "Coke Zero" and "Pepsi One" cans, circa 2006, stacked to spell out the binary values of the ascii string "Toybox", with null terminator at the bottom. The compiler toolchain is _conceptually_ one package, implementable as a single multicall binary acting like make, cc, as, ld, cpp, strip, readelf, nm, objdump, and so on as necessary.
