Attached the .config file used to build busybox from source

When i execute commands like 
int ret=system("ls")  where ls is actually busybox ls

the return value in ret is always -1 . 


I read some blogs regarding this problem and it seems that its due to some configuration problem. I have attached the busybox config being used by me while building busybox version 1.23.1

The busy box was built for the  Freescale IMX6 processor with ARM core

Please post log file of "strace -f -oLOG <program> <args>" where <program> tries to call busybox via system().
