If you are right, then there is a bug in GDB, not BusyBox.  With
bash, I get the following behavior:

Script started on Sun Jan 14 00:27:30 2001
kraai at verona:~$ /bin/bash -c exec echo foo bar
kraai at verona:~$ /bin/bash -c 'exec echo foo bar'
foo bar
kraai at verona:~$ exit
Script done on Sun Jan 14 00:27:50 2001

When using the -c option to sh, the first argument after it is
taken as the command to run.  The rest of the arguments are stored
in $1, $2, ....
