I do test static linked busybox and last I checked 2016.09 seemed ok ! (below is
busybox built against prebuilt 2016.09 toolchain on github)

$ file arc_initramfs_hs_1612-gnu-2016.09-BIG/bin/busybox_static
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, *unknown arch 0xc3* version 1 (SYSV), statically
linked, for GNU/Linux 4.8.0, not stripped

Although I've seen this issue in different context - Linux kernel perf, Alexey u
