Busybox is an interesting requirement in that context. If
you are constrained with userland size and linking against
other than glibc, use of qemu could be interesting. Can't
say I've built it other than linked against glibc and an
extensive list of runtime libraries. Although I've never
tried to configure-down that dependency.
