Could you provide more details on how you're using the toolchain?
Indeed, if incorrect flags are passed to the toolchain, it may cause it
to look for libraries in /lib.

But if you don't provide more details, we unfortunately can't really
comment :-/

I would think that the machine on which the error occurs is running a
different Linux distribution / version, and has Glibc 2.13 or older, where
as the building machine has Glibc 2.14 or newer.

As I understand it this error is an error trying to load the shared
libraries needed to execute the x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc binary - the
fact that the binary is a compiler has not yet become important, because
it's not possible to load the dynamically linked executable. To confirm
this the OP could run `ldd` on the x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc executable
and get a similar "not found" error for the same symbol.
The contents of
x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu_sdk-buildroot/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib
is not used at all for this - that is the target sysroot, i.e. the library
set which will be used when the output of this compiler is run on the
target - no help at all to the host, and may be completely incompatible
(e.g. ARM target libraries). The fact that target and host are (maybe?) the
same in this instance is not exploited, they are still treated as separate.

The error is not unexpected - the cross-compiling toolchain is compiled to
run on the system which builds it (host), and makes no special efforts to
be (binary) portable between host environments. relocate-sdk.sh deals with
paths etc. but cannot change the binary linkage. I'm fairly certain that
copying any other binary compiled on the first machine and then copying it
to a second would give the same error, for the same reason.
