Can you give us:

 * The platform you're using, so that we can figure out which processor
   it is using.

 * The Buildroot .config file you're using, to check that the
   configuration you've made matches the processor of your platform.

Most of the time, those errors are due to inadequate architecture
variant / floating point configuration.

Also, how did you prepare your NFS filesystem? By just copying
output/target, or by following the instructions at
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_nfs_boot ?

Best regards,

Thomas
