That ARMhf on Kindle thread has a very recent, nearly complete, build of BusyBox.
(For the K4, K5, PW devices - I can churn out a K3 and maybe K2 version also if wanted).

Note 1:
When referencing it, it is in */esys/... rather than */extensions/system/... since there was a pathname length problem in editing elf files.

Note 2:
The Buildroot 2014.08 release will build the elf file editor for your host system now.
I convinced the maintainers it was a "good thing" to have on hand for system file editing.
I promise to get back to that project as soon as time allows.
(And I am trying to find where twobob is buried at and seeing if he can be re-animated.)
