Like John said in his reply to you, you're using an ancient version of
Busybox with lots of known bugs, some of which are especially
problematic if you'll be using the busybox utilities in place of
coreutils when running programs' configure scripts and building
software. I would recommend upgrading to latest busybox. As far as I
know, it has all the issues against musl fixed, as well as having
fixes for the bugs I just mentioned.
