Sorry, if I have some trouble to fully understand your message. May be
translation problems or I missed some information it is based on ...

The make 'm using is:

make --version
GNU Make 3.82

So what are the differences between Rob's, mine and the one you are
mentioning? I thought, the Busybox "Makefile" called with "make" is in
responsible of the tools executed and fail to use the system path in a
correct manner. The make I'm using works pretty on all those Gentoo
packages based on it. None of those builds fail. So it looks to me
there is a wrong path assumption anywhere in the Busybox build process.

May be the term "Busybox make" let you to the assumption I'm using a
make build into Busybox (I don't know about such one). My intention was
to say (with few words), I'm using the usual make with Busybox provided
Makefile.

So what did I get wrong?
