Meenal,

   Ok, I guess I have to get caught up on my research before I answer a
question about a problem seen earlier the same day.  In short, I was
only partially correct with me solution listed above.  In fact, my above
listed solution HIDES the problem.  It does not FIX it.  Rich is
correct.  Your toolchain is not correctly being presented to busybox.
In my system, the CROSS_COMPILE variable was NOT set.  Setting that
fixed part of my errors.
