The package consist of 116 c-files.
The cmdedit.c, dirname.c, gunzip.c files 
and others exist in the system. I tried
to build the busybox on another RedHat Linux
machine, I got the same error messages.
The Config.h file is follow.

// This is where feature definitions go.  Generally speaking,
// turning this stuff off makes things a bit smaller (and less 
// pretty/useful).
//
//
//
// Turn this on to use Erik's very cool devps, and devmtab kernel drivers,
// thereby eliminating the need for the /proc filesystem and thereby saving
// lots and lots memory for more important things.  You can not use this and
// USE_PROCFS at the same time...  NOTE:  If you enable this feature, you
// _must_ have patched the kernel to include the devps patch that is included
// in the busybox/kernel-patches directory.  You will also need to create some
// device special files in /dev on your embedded system:
//        mknod /dev/mtab c 10 22
//        mknod /dev/ps c 10 21
// I emailed Linus and this patch will not be going into the stock kernel.
//#define BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH
//
// enable features that use the /proc filesystem (apps that 
// break without this will tell you on compile)...
// You can't use this and BB_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH 
// at the same time...
#define BB_FEATURE_USE_PROCFS
//
// This compiles out everything but the most 
// trivial --help usage information (i.e. reduces binary size)
//#define BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP
//
// Use termios to manipulate the screen ('more' is prettier with this on)
#define BB_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS
//
// calculate terminal & column widths (for more and ls)
#define BB_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH
//
// show username/groupnames (bypasses libc6 NSS) for ls
#define BB_FEATURE_LS_USERNAME
//
// show file timestamps in ls
#define BB_FEATURE_LS_TIMESTAMPS

//
//When this is enabled, busybox shell applets can be called using full path
//names.  This causes applets (i.e., most busybox commands) to override
//real commands on the filesystem.  For example, if you run run /bin/cat, it
//will use BusyBox cat even if /bin/cat exists on the filesystem and is _not_
//busybox.  Some systems want this, others do not.  Choose wisely.  :-) This

// Enable a nifty progress meter in wget (adds just under 2k)
