Trying to upgrade to the latest build doesn't unfortunately solve the issue but I see you're not statically linking busybox anymore at this point ...

error: Failed dependencies:
        ld-musl-x86_64.so.1()(64bit) is needed by busybox-1:1.35.0-4.fc36.x86_64

Comment 2 Stefan Berger 2022-05-10 15:31:22 UTC

busybox-1.35.0-4.fc36.x86_64 resolves the crashing issue. Unfortunately it is not statically linked anymore:

# ldd /sbin/busybox.musl.static
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcf0797000)
        ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x00007f15f5b85000)

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 17:06:56 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
