Hi! I'm a noob wrt OpenWrt

I've been working on this for more than my wife will let me and I'm stuck. I'm trying to run mdadm on my TL-WDR3600 (ar71xx arch, CC from imagebuilder)

I have a couple of questions:
- I compiled mdadm using trunk, it compiled successfully (ipk was generated), but failed when making package/index because of a missing host dependency (usign) I'm hoping that will be OK and that the default CC version doesn't expect signed packages.
- When I installed the package on the router. It installed "successfully". Binary is there. But I can't seem to run it:

root@OpenWrt:~# which mdadm
/sbin/mdadm
root@OpenWrt:~# `which mdadm`
-ash: /sbin/mdadm: not found
root@OpenWrt:~# ls -l `which mdadm`
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        228901 Jan 16 12:15 /sbin/mdadm
root@OpenWrt:~#

My theories are:
- mdadm expect some kernel module that's not installed
- I somehow screw things up when building.

Any help is welcome

It does, easily a dozen and counting.
