I doubt that this has anything to do with Busybox.  I once had a similar issue
when building LFS, and it came down to /dev/pts not being mounted.

Make sure that /dev/pts is mounted before trying to configure, with something
like:

# mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

I'm assuming your kernel has devpts support built-in...

Also make sure /proc is mounted...
