You compiled your binary static, that lets assume your
distribution version uses dynamically linked libraries. The size
of around 1 MB is another indicator for this.

To calculate correct sizes you need to add the size of required
libraries to the size of your binary.

Use command "ldd YOUR_DISTRO_BUSYBOX_BINARY" that shall show you
which libraries are used. Usually /lib/libc.so.6, /lib/libm.so.6,
and library loader.
