My only excuse, I was thinking of the mainstream kernel and not considering this is a patched kernel.

Seems to me part of the vanilla kernel:

, so, building Busybox'es
swapon should work if
mem=128M limit does not affect virtual memory (thanks!).

Keep in mind that you may have to do a bit of fudging/editing of BR to get it to use the very old kernel headers and library versions used by the 3.x series firmware.
IIRC, you need to be building for the i.MX31 SoC.
Hmm...
Building for something that old -
It might be better to just skip BR and use NiLuJe's toolchain to build Busybox directly (as it where, without the "help" of a build system other than its own).

Looked at BR and looks like a fun but a far away from being able to build for DX immediately (will keep on playing with it).
So, I thought about NiLuJe's toolchain. Is it
kindle-x-tc-2014.08.N.tar.gz from
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004, right? I gave it a try but it's not ready for general use, is it?
Code:
$ ./x-compile.sh K2
* Setting environment up . . .
* Building zlib . . .
tar (child): /usr/portage/distfiles/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Is there a documentation how to use it properly?
/usr/portage/distfiles/ looks a bit hardcoded.
