No it is not.

Config.in contains:

config BUILD_LIBBUSYBOX
        bool "Build shared libbusybox"
        default n
        depends on !FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS && !PIE && !STATIC

So, you must be having one of those options enabled.
Please post your .config file.

I tried current git:

$ make defconfig
$ make menuconfig
 --> Busybox Settings  ---> Build Options  --->
 [*] Build shared libbusybox
 [*]   Produce a binary for each applet, linked against libbusybox
 [*]   Produce additional busybox binary linked against libbusybox
$ make -j4
...
  LINK    busybox_unstripped
Trying libraries: crypt m
 Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
 Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Final link with: m
libbusybox: 0_lib/libbusybox.so.1.20.0.git
busybox linked against libbusybox: 0_lib/busybox
Linking individual applets against libbusybox (see 0_lib/*)

and 0_lib/ contains 351 files, including libbusybox.so.1.20.0.git.
