  (it's actually as (from binutils), not gcc).

  Good catch!  With PREFER_STATIC, buildroot's uClibc doesn't install in the target.
I'll post an untested patch as a follow-up, can you test it?

  Note: the other part of the problem is that binutils sets --enable-shared
unconditionally.  But there may be other reasons for that.
