busybox-static is _not_ a drop in replacement for busybox,
you need to have the corresponding symlink farm.
as we dereference for quick build that would effectevily mean
to shipp busybox for every busybox utility that we might use.

i'm not considering your suggestion as valid,
nor tested.

so i'm gonna close that report soon.

best regards
