The removal of /var/run/log:

rm -f /var/run/log
echo ' syslogd.';                       syslogd

Previously it happened here:

(cd /var/run && { cp /dev/null utmp; chmod 644 utmp; })
                                                     ^ rm -f log;

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
