I found the solution, (of sorts). It seems that I needed to copy over
some scripts from the udhcp tarball into the embedded system for it to
function.

the scripts are sample.* in the tarball and they're to be copied into
the embedded's filesystem. (I copied it into /etc/udhcpc and edited
sample.script to reflect that change)

Now, udhcpc will get the IP and the routes and DNS.

Dropbear doesn't really work (it didn't even before this, I finally saw
the reason was due to no ttys to allocate (pty_allocate: openpty no such
file or directory)

I can ssh in but it will hang as it can't allocate a tty for the
session.

I'm sure I compiled in unixptys.
