prompt "Additional debugging library"

help
- Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become
- considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly. You
- should always leave this option disabled for production use.
-
- dmalloc support:
- ----------------
- This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
- which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
- detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
- want to properly set your environment, for example:
- export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
- The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
- dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space \
- -p log-elapsed-time -p check-fence -p check-heap \
- -p check-lists -p check-blank -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy \
- -p allow-free-null
-
- Electric-fence support:
- -----------------------
- This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
- fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
- your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
- accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
- and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
- you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
