Copying the pppd binary won't help for what you are trying to do.
pppd is dynamically linked, and the installer doesn't contain the 
required libraries. 
[mfratoni at paradox mfratoni]$ ldd /usr/sbin/pppd
        libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x4002e000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40036000)
        libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x4003a000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x4003d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x4006a000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

When I get some time, I can try building a statically linked binary, or 
linking against uClibc.

Much better option. :)
