Generally, when you run a gcc from somewhere othern than the location
for which it was originally compled you use the --sysroot option on
the compiler command line to tell it where it's now installed.

I don't know if the buildroot toolchain has that enabled or not.  I
had a lot of problems trying to use a buildroot-generated toolchain as
an external toolchain (this was a year or two back) and switched to
using crosstool-ng to build my toolchains.
