  It was not true.
  I checked souce of Busybox chroot, it looks just do exec.
  So I don't know why your init does not work.

  On my system,
  awk, top, od 
  are not working.( but I gess these are working other system)
  Maybe init does not work on your system, and bugs are somewhere.
  (busybox / toolchain / kernel / uClibc ?)

  Anyway, on my system(mipsel linux-2.4 uClibc), it works.
