busybox >= 1.4.0 switched to kbuild, i.e.
make CROSS_COMPILE=alpha-linux- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-fwhatever \
EXTRA_LDFLAGS=-Wl,--warn-multiple-gp

For the usual case you'd either set CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX in the
.config or pass CC down to make.

If you happen to have an odd host compiler then you want those too:
HOSTCC=ccc HOSTCFLAGS="-ieee" make ....

It seems that the .dev tree has 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.3.1 still in there but
i, personally would strongly advise against using those (same for the
standalone tinylogin, but that's a different thing and not relevant
right now).

The ancient cruft versions made me leave in that comment.
