has anybody built buildroot with glibc support? or is it in there and I
just missed it?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting a bad thing?

You can theoretically use an "external toolchain" which uses glibc. Not
sure what purpose such a thing would serve though.
Good luck.

I've done just such a thing. I've used the codesourcery toolchain for
powerpc which uses glibc. It works well for me.
The reason I did it was that I was having trouble getting buildroot to
produce a reliable crosscompiler for powerpc and wanted to use something
known-good and stable since gcc cross compilers still seem to have a bit
of black-magic associated with building one that works and what patches
are required, especially in PPC land.
