bbsh is under development still, by rob landley.  unless he's
made a lot of progress recently, it's probably far from being
ready to build your jvm.

the most complete shell in busybox is "ash", which you're
probably already using.  depending on the needs of your build,
you may be able to tweak the build scripts enough so that
they work with ash.

and finally, of course, you could try building bash for your
target, and using it directly.
