I guess your custom busybox recipe is missing the following update:

  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=b7c265e1edd5c82126c1f3915ba5ca9efef57c00

Which is required in order to work correctly with versions of OE
containing the following change:

  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=aeb653861a0ec39ea7a014c0622980edcbf653fa

Generally you should not expect a third party layer originally created
for fido to "just work" with sumo.

Perhaps ask whoever maintains your custom layers and recipes whether
they have a version which has been tested with sumo.
