My FWL build system builds dropbear binaries statically linked against uCLibc for a bunch of different targets. If you like, you can grab the binaries from: http;//impactlinux.com/fwl/downloads/binaries (You can also download the system-image tarball for the appropriate target, use the included scripts to boot them up under qemu, and build dropbear yourself natively inside the emulator.)
