It's not a Busybox problem.
Your kernel is very old. 
Anyway if_vlan should be present in kernel headers, it's not a glibc-related 
header.
You shoul patch your kernel by vlan kernel patches, or get a latest kernel 
version.
Latest kernels have vlan support included and need no any additional patches.
Look here:

or ask to help Red Hat support team.
