First thing to do is support the buildroot people by providing your config (or defconfig)
file which produces your problem (against a vanilla buildroot release or git tree, so
other people can try to re-produce your problem)...

Try to reproduce your problem with an complete re-build (make clean && make), see [1]

As far as I can see in the builroot-2020.05 source mariadb is at version 10.3.23,
where does your 2.3.7, 3.1.8 and MySQL version 8 come from?

According to [2] mariadb-connector-c is included in mariadb-10.3.23 and
the buildroot package poco mysql component (BR2_PACKAGE_POCO_DATA_MYSQL) simple
selects BR2_PACKAGE_MYSQL....do your try to build some packages outside of
buildroot? If yes...why?

Regards,
Peter
