On newer versions of glibc, gets is no longer included so host packages relying
on it will not compile properly.

Yes, for now, AFAIK only glibc-2.16 has removed 'gets'.

For m4, a patch fixing this has already been merged: [1].

For cpio and gettext on the host system, Buildroot relies on the package
provided by the host distribution.
So, if you are experiencing issues with these packages, this should be more
likely reported to the maintainers of the distribution you're using.

BTW, do you know from where does the definition of HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETS come
from?
Grepping it in /usr/include of systems using glibc-2.15, glibc-2.16 and
eglibc-2.15 gives no result.

Thx for the report.
