That means tar had a nonzero exit status inside /usr/share/genkernel/gen_compile.sh

		tar -jxpf ${BUSYBOX_SRCTAR} ||
			gen_die 'Could not extract busybox source tarball!'

You probably changed the busybox settings in genkernel.conf. You need to make sure genkernel can find a good busybox source tarball.  The default tarball is /usr/share/genkernel/pkg/busybox-1.00-pre7-losetup-crypto-alpha.tar.bz2
