I have also seen this. In my case the problem was that I had built an 
eglibc toolchain that had configured too much out (I think it was option 
OPTION_EGLIBC_NIS). Busybox built fine, only login as root failed.

Never got around to debugging it as much faster just to change my 
toolchain to include the necessary option.
