Sorry for not getting to this sooner, it simply slipped my attention
somehow.

This is the very first time this has happened, and is a bit strange.  I
admit I have never attempted to build with busybox, and it might hint to
a problem with the m4 and/or make installed on your computer, or
autoconf/automake -- however, there should be no need for either of
these auto* packages to execute unless you patched the source.

This is a mystery.  The best bet is to build leafnode on a "normal" PC
with similar (or older) libraries installed, same platform and roughly
same operating system and then (cross-)compile it there.  You can run
"make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/leafnode install" and can then cd
/var/tmp/leafnode, tar up everything and move it to the target computer
and unpack it into "/", overwriting existing files.

Hope that helps.
