Perhaps dc would be more appropriate?  That's included in busybox.


Perhaps it would, but I think there is more variability between dc implementations -- consider if the busybox version is broken, for eample.

Either way, how many people compile their kernels in a busybox environment?

Anyway, I don't think compiling bc is hard on anything which has a C compiler.
