OK, GCC 4.8.?/4.9, latest bash, latest GNU sed, etc...

The problem would seem to be that somehow, some of the help messages got
truncated.
And I'm not sure what's causing this, though a malfunction in
config2help.c seems likely; since it doesn't happen here, it's not
specifically the result of how toybox is written.
So _please_ check whether scripts/ matches upstream.

Currently, I'm using a native musl system.
I used to build with 
make CC=/path/to/musl-gcc CFLAGS="-Os -static"
or sometimes:
make HOSTCC=/path/to/musl-gcc CC=/path/to/musl-gcc CFLAGS="-Os -static"
(which needs ncurses if you want menuconfig).

HTH,
