The following quotes are taken from http://busybox.net/about.html:
"BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the
utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc."
"BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited
resources in mind."
In general, if you are trying to make a small system you would remote
things like core-utils and replace them with busybox, not the other way
around.
Maybe having a look at poky-tiny might help?
