OK, so this one is a workaround. I'm not sure what the proper fix would be.
I'd be grateful for comments on how to solve this in a better way. The mklibs.py script is stripping one symbol too much (__ctype_toupper) from the uclibc libc, which breaks busybox. This might be toolchain dependent - I've done my testing on Gnewsense Deltad (aka Ubuntu Dapper Drake) with GCC 4.1.0.
sigh - we've seen issues with ctype functions before, and I'm just not really clear on the best way to handle them. It seems that there is some sort of obfustication going on in the ctype.h header file that somehow filters down to pain in uclibc/busybox. This work around is as good as any - if anything, it costs us a few bytes in an extra possibly not needed function, but thats not so bad.
