I don't know how you get a /linuxrc link to bb without having /sbin/init...
Having /linuxrc act as init is the whole point of BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC.  If you
look in Config.h

    #ifdef BB_FEATURE_LINUXRC
    #ifndef BB_INIT
    #define BB_INIT
    #endif
    #define BB_LINUXRC
    #endif

So busybox /linuxrc only shows up with /sbin/init, never by itself (here I am
assuming you either use 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install' or 'busybox install'
rather then making links by hand).
