looks like its a stripped down version of busybox:
/bin # busybox
BusyBox v1.2.1 (2007.10.17-00:56+0000) multi-call binary
Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
or: [function] [arguments]...
BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a
link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
will act like whatever it was invoked as!
Currently defined functions:
[, [[, ash, awk, basename, bash, busybox, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown,
chvt, cksum, clear,
cp, crond, cut, date, dd, df, diff, dirname, echo, egrep, env, expr,
false, fdisk,
fgrep, find, ftpget, ftpput, getty, grep, groupadd, groupdel,
groups, gunzip, gzip,
halt, head, hexdump, hostname, id, inetd, init, kill, ln, loadkmap,
lockfile, logger,
login, ls, md5sum, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mktemp, mount, mv, nohup,
nslookup, od, passwd,
patch, ping, poweroff, printf, readlink, reboot, rm, rmdir, sed,
seq, setsid, sh,
sha1sum, sleep, sort, stat, stty, su, sum, sync, syslogd, tail, tar,
tee, telnetd,

Bummer!
