That smells like an ABI confusion, yes.

Building an OABI toolchain for an EABI kernel doesn't make sense, hence
the configs are brought in sync by buildroot.
target/linux/Makefile.in.advanced is where it happens, and it AEABI
should not be set in the kernel config unless BR2_ARM_EABI is set. Could
you double check?

No, that shouldn't happen. Could you pastebin your br2 .config
somewhere?
