Yes, that's how busybox works, it's a single binary file for all the
tools, so it shares code and reduces total size.

I don't use arms, but AVR32 instead. I had a similar issue a while
back and it was something to do with bash, once I removed bash from
the build, everything worked ok. You might want to try that.
