 I think you can basically say your host toolchain is broken: it fails to
compile valid programs, because glibc doesn't satisfy the -std=gnu99 option.

 Since this is an issue with your toolchain, I think you should fix it globally
(not just for buildroot) by setting CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=-fgnu89-inline in your
environment.


 Note: installing your own glibc (somewhere outside of /usr/lib) is possible,
but awkward.
