Well, I've had the same message here, when copying dynamic libraries
from a RedHad 8 Linux distribution on an x86-based embedded platform.
It seems that RedHat compiles some libraries for an i686 architecture
and install them by default, if the host has an i686 processor.
On an i{3,4,5}86, running a program causes an "illegal instruction"
signal when it uses the i686 library.

An example: libc is i686-specific, and that is visible because it
sits in an "i686/" directory:
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6
But "/lib/ld-2.2.93.so" seems i686-specific too.

Could it be that the Busybox ifconfig/ping utilities dynamically
use an i686 library?
