I tried to copy that one to busybox while running BL2 and was told
Unable to open 'busybox':  Text file busy.
I rebooted and used BL3 to
cp busybox-1.01 busybox

If I try to run your 1.sh using the current BL3 busybox:
expr:  syntax error
Usage:  tail [OPTION]... [FILE]...

I chrooted to BL2 to test this new busybox (and use it with 1.sh).
ls did not work. Function not implemented

Rebooted to BL2.  ls still does not work, nor do some other things during 
boot (chmod?).  Insmod is not working.  The link to it is in /sbin not 
/bin/busybox.  /sbin is on the path (type set).
cp:  unable to stat '(filename)':  Function not implemented.
top:  scandir('/proc'):  Function not implemented.
du:  Function not implemented.
Many functions still work.  find  cd  time  tar

There was something about binary incompatibility - is this it?

I restored the BL3 busybox version and ls works again.  Someone else 
please try 1.01 uclibc static in BL2 (or BL3) and if it works, explain the 
proper way to replace the current busybox with it.
My method worked to replace BL2 busybox with BL3 busybox.
