I've upgraded the package in buildroot to 0.6.0, and same problem here
on ARM. However, it works fine on x86 either using directly their
build-system and Ubuntu's gcc or using buildroot's internal toolchain
for x86 (with uClibc).

It seems like the bug is probably more arch-specific than I thought.
