I would suggest to run the segfaulting process under
gdb(server) and backtrace when segfault occurs. You'll
probably need to rebuild uClibc and busybox with
debugging symbols.

Segfault at 0, hmm, and in first second. Maybe time(NULL)
is the culprit here. Another thing - can you verify that
segfault occurs at the first second (eg. when time(NULL)
is first called), or does it happen on random elapsed time?

IIRC, latest buildroot uses uclibc-0.9.30, do early
versions work, try uClibc-0.9.29 perhaps?
