Hi,
this usually works for me:

1) go to Codesourcery.com web site and download compiler at
http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription?@template=lite
2) extract to some folder
3) configure busybox
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=../arm-2008q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-    menuconfig
4) compile busybox
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=../arm-2008q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-


Hope it helps.
Tito
