Maybe you should now drop the case study principle.

I would advice to trace and debug indeep, i.g get your
tinylogin to be verbose, localize precisely what condition
(that's got false and ) which prevent you from getting that
user prompt. 

Go debuggin' : You just can't be stating
"the following message comes up: "su: cannot run /bin/sh: Permission denied"
anymore... Is it really a permission problem ? An errror display may become 
mostly irrelevant in some tricky cases.  
What leads to this state ? #define DEBUG and do an ICA in your buildroot login 
code, that's a grep and find matter now...

Good luck,
