If it is compiled in your Elks toolchain, and it links, yes you can.
Busybox works with uCLibc, what is forked from the Elks version of it. So it is best to try it, and if it won't work, just try to fix it by adding the required functions to the application by copy-paste from a working Libc source ;-)
Good Luck,
Stefan

Also starting from an older version is probably a good idea. uclibc has grown a lot from dev86 :)
