  Right, so no libc.so or libc.a...

  These files are copied into or removed from the target fs depending on 
the status of the BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES option.  This option must be 
enabled, otherwise it is impossible to select the BR2_PACKAGE_GCC_TARGET 
option.

  However, the copying of libc.so and libc.a happens at the time the 
cross-toolchain is built.  If you enable BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES afterwards, 
it will have no effect.  Perhaps you didn't do a clean build after 
reconfiguring buildroot?
