Look up the busybox mailing list.  I had a conversation with Yann
Morinn re that topic.  He is is the busybox module code maintainer. 
Basically, you need to get a current version of busybox and read the
synopsis on the wiki:

<http://www.seiner.com/ts7000/index.php/CrossCompileTools>

TS got around that by using gcc 3.2 and the regular init, not the
busybox init.  I wanted a pure busybox solution, so I ended up
building my own toolchain that would work.

There is another issue with recent busybox re correctly detecting the
console; if busybox locks up on running init, you need to pass the
CONSOLE=/dev/ttyAM? parameter at kernel boot. Note that this is
different from the console=ttyam? parameter.
