Antti Seppala (with dots over the last two a's) wants our getty to initialize the terminal the way mingetty does instead of the way agetty does. It's a bit ugly for somebody else to be writing to a console sitting at a login: prompt, but it's uglier when newline doesn't work as expected if they do.
This commit was genuinely broken at the time (not related to our build system): scripts/config/mkconfigs.c (2005-08-01 - 2006-10-05 arasi) uretilen bbconfigopts.h icine .config satirlarini kacissiz, ham newline'larla gömüyordu - gecerli C degildi, busybox'un kendi bb_mkdep araci bile parse edemiyordu (7d219aab7 ile duzeltildi, mkconfigs shell scripte cevrildi)
