It's been a while since I set this up, but I recall at some point I had to make statically-linked version of tar, gzip, et al... I think ls is static by default, does that work? You can go into /usr/src and find tar and gzip and in the makefile add -STATIC to LDFLAGS. After you make, copy those into the ~ftp/bin directory.
