Well, basically, it was easier to fix than thought, and I posted a patch 
already:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/lists/buildroot/2007-July/003659.html

The two culprits for the breakage are:
(1) foo.h includes features.h, which doesn't exist on OS X. Referring to 
my above patch, this could also be fixed in the Makefile by not 
including foo.h on OS X, but IMHO that's trickier (uname).
(2) The linking was changed so, that ncurses wasn't linked in on OS X 
anymore

BUT I also noted another breakage, which I'm clueless about:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/lists/buildroot/2007-July/003658.html
I'm using the same config I was with an older version (for example, rev 
18688 worked).

Fair enough. I did skim through the libintl reports, but those didn't 
apply on OS X -- or my installation, at least.
