busybox config

Dynamically linked busybox:
# ./busybox whoami
root
# ./busybox groups
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel floppy tape video

Statically linked busybox:
# ./busybox whoami
whoami: unknown uid 0

# ./busybox groups
0groups: unknown ID 0
 1groups: unknown ID 1
 2groups: unknown ID 2
 3groups: unknown ID 3
 4groups: unknown ID 4
 6groups: unknown ID 6
 10groups: unknown ID 10
 11groups: unknown ID 11
 26groups: unknown ID 26
 27groups: unknown ID 27

... And many other applets, which use text uid/gid names (for example login cannot find user, etc)

glibc 2.21, gcc 4.9.3
tried compiling busybox with gcc -O0 with same error.
