If I understand GNU getopt right (and if the BB version of getopt is 
compatible :-) then you could "end" your options to start-stop-daemon with a 
"--". Everything afterwards will not get interpreted by that getopt.
So perhaps a 
<pre>
start-stop-daemon -S -x /sbin/syslogd -- -C
</pre>
works?

After having written the above I understand that`s *not* the solution :-)
You'll have to say start_stop_daemon that syslog _and_ -C are *one* option!
So perhaps a 
<pre>
start-stop-daemon -S -x "/sbin/syslogd -C"
</pre>
does the job. Or perhaps you'll have to use "some other" quotes...

HTH. Salut, Jörg
