So your busybox binary is not statically linked. That doesn't really
change anything.

If your project depends on GNU libc, you are not permitted to "clean up
unused libraries" from glibc, at least not the libnss_* ones, because
GNU libc requires them even though it does not link to them, and it will
use them behind your back *anyway* via dlopen(3)
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/dlopen.3.html

You may solve this by not using GNU libc, or by specifically excluding
these shared libraries from being cleaned, or by writing a build system
which more accurately tracks what libraries to install in the first
place rather than cleaning up after the fact.
