This should avoid relying on features of the Android builtin shell,
and so hopefully avoid failures like this one

The C shim sets up busybox, and uses its builtin shell to run runshell.
It's important that busybox be configured with
CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE, so that while runshell is running, it
does not rely on either system utilities, or busybox being already
installed.
