Since you have checked several versions of busybox, it's a
reasonable guess that busybox is working fine.  So lets operate
on the assumption that it is either your kernel, your version of
uClibc, or your toolchain that is broken.

What version of the arm-linux kernel are you using?

What version of gcc and binutils are you using to compile
everything?  gcc-3.2?  binutils-2.12.1?

What version of uClibc?  0.9.16?  If so, do you see the same
segfault when building vs uClibc 0.9.15?

The first step is to narrow down the problem so you can try
and find which compenent is at fault,
