A very good question.

The answer; yes and no.

If I rename the available rescue crunched binary ("[") to "rescue", I can 
start it and it shows me all the available commands. Some commands work:

---

airport-tc# ./rescue

Usage: rescue <prog> <args> ..., where <prog> is one of:
 cat chio chmod cp csh -csh date dd df domainname echo ed expr hostname kill
 ksh -ksh ln ls mkdir mt mv pax tar ps pwd rcmd rcp rm rmdir sh -sh sleep 
stty
 sync test [ atactl badsect brconfig ccdconfig chown chgrp clri disklabel

 slogin ldd rescue

airport-tc# ./rescue ldd rescue
rescue: rescue: not dynamically linked

airport-tc# ./rescue scp
[1]   Bus error               ./rescue scp

---

See; "ldd" appears to work but "scp" bombs with a bus error.

All very weird since if the kernel is EABI on this TC then rescue should not 
work. It does, somewhat.

Even more confusing.
