Just recompiled, noticed something odd. It printed:

  LINK busybox_unstripped
/var/tmp/bpmbuild.28871/build/busybox-1.2.2.1/applets/applets.c:21:2: warning: #warning Static linking against glibc produces buggy executables
/var/tmp/bpmbuild.28871/build/busybox-1.2.2.1/applets/applets.c:22:2: warning: #warning See sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3400
/var/tmp/bpmbuild.28871/build/busybox-1.2.2.1/applets/applets.c:23:2: warning: #warning Note that glibc is utterly unsuitable for static linking anyway.

This despite the fact that the chroot jail where I built it has no
glibc.

On the other hand, the good news is that ash backticks work fine:-).
