busybox+glibc has been working without problems on ARM for Emdebian for
some months (and through several versions of busybox as
Debian/Emdebian was initially using a v.old version of busybox).

You can see the Emdebian code in our SVN - implemented as a pair of
shell libraries that the rest of the tools can call when preparing the
root filesystem. The main rcS stuff is in emrootfslib:

http://buildd.emdebian.org/svn/browser/current/host/trunk/emdebian-tools/trunk/pbuilder/emrootfslib
(GPL v3 or later)

It's not problem free but it works for busybox and glibc on ARM.
 
The only major difference is this line:

::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

Your inittab includes it, ours does not.
