This seems weird because <scsi/scsi.h> is part of the C library. Can
you do a full rebuild, i.e "make clean all", and see if you can
reproduce the problem.

Beware that when you update Buildroot or you make certain changes to
the configuration, you need to do a full rebuild. See
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#full-rebuild for more
details.

Best regards,

Thomas
