Just out of curiosity...  What do you see when you
run the 'locale' command on your build system?

It does not appear you are cross compiling.  You are doing a
native build on a mipsel box, right?  I have run buildroot
natively on my mipsel box within the last week.  Busybox built
properly and 'busybox ifup' works as expected...

ok.

Since you are using buildroot...  Try doing 

    rm -rf build_mipsel/busybox* sources/dl/busybox*

and then running make again.  It is possible there is
some stale stuff lurking somewhere.

My current best guess is there is some bit of either busybox or
buildroot that is improperly locale dependant.  But that is just
an operating guess at the moment.
