The problem is that buildroot expects to find libgcc,
libstdc++, et al in $(SYSROOT)/lib

That's not where buildroot puts them.

Buildroot puts them in $(SYSROOT)/usr/arm-linux-uclibc/lib

Apparently, toolchains built by Buildroot aren't suitable for
use as external toolchains without some post-build massaging.
