uClibc does not enable the fork() symbol for non-mmu hosts (like uClinux) so 
whoever said this was mistaken

further more, the current init code in busybox wouldnt work anyways if you 
changed the fork() to vfork() due to the amount of changes the child makes

the uClinux guys use something simpleinit rather than init from busybox
